CHARLOTTE — On June 26, more than 4,000 Unitarian Universalists representing 585 congregations wrapped up their five-day annual General Assembly (GA) reaffirming their commitment to justice for all who are socially and politically disenfranchised, including LGBT people.

Among their conference sessions were workshops in understanding and welcoming transgender people, identifying and counteracting the bullying of LGBT youth and appreciating the many social and political accomplishments of Unitarian Universalism in the denomination's history of establishing sexual equality within and beyond the walls of its congregations.
