Declaration of religious support
for same-sex unions

Sponsored link. 

The following declaration was created in 1998 by the Progressive Religious Alliance, a multi-faith group centered in Los Angeles CA. They sought  the support of individuals and groups who wish to make the institution of marriage - both its civil privileges and its religious rituals - available to all committed couples.

The deadline for indicating your support has passed; we are including this declaration in our web site for historical reasons.

DECLARATION OF RELIGIOUS SUPPORT FOR SAME-SEX UNIONS

We, the undersigned, celebrate the value of all just and loving human relationships, and we affirm the inclusive values of respect and community.

We affirm, therefore, the universal holiness and sacred worth of all committed, long-term, consenting adult, loving couples, regardless of sexual orientation. Further, we affirm that all such couples deserve the protection of the state and the recognition of religious institutions.

Moreover, that:

Arising from the religious values of justice, mercy and love, these affirmations, reverently undertaken, will serve to promote the health, safety, stability, and well-being of all people and families.
