MINNEAPOLIS -- Whenever Nicole Garcia visited gay-friendly churches with large numbers of Hispanic people in the congregation, she would check the brochures and other materials geared toward gay churchgoers and their families and usually find a common theme.

"Typically what I'd see are materials written for white families and translated into Spanish," said Garcia, a Denver-based transgender activist who works with several gay-friendly faith groups. "That's appreciated, but you have to understand that you're talking about a totally different set of issues in many cases."
