Hello Rainbow Tent Family and Allies,
We all know that our Correllian Family is preparing for the Parliament of the Worlds Religions - for a conversation across the world religions on human rights.
However, as co-head of this Order of the Rainbow Tent, I noticed there is no conversation or panel on LGBTQ+ rights at this Parliament of the World Religions. We know worldwide and even in the United States that LGBTQ+ people are under attack and have their human rights violated.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people do not have full equality in this country — and the rights that we do have are being stripped away at lightning speed … More than 525 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced in 41 states this year alone, and more than 75 have become law. We are living in a state of emergency.
In a radical decision, the Supreme Court issued a ruling in the 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis case. This unprecedented decision will have sweeping and harmful impacts on the LGBTQ+ community and is a dangerous step backward.
How can the Parliament of the Worlds' Religions overlook this? I hope to be a beacon of light and a door for people to speak with me both as a member of the clergy and also as a trans/nonbinary person we need to have these conversations, and spaces need to be craved out for this.
Join us at our next meeting which will be held on Friday - August 4th, 2023 at 9 pm EST. We are still growing the space on Discord, those invites expire after 7 days, so if you’d like an invite please message myself Rev. Ser Bryan Ellicott on Facebook or by email (ellicottbryan@queerjusticetarot.com) or Rev Silas Mimir (mysticalrainbow18@gmail.com) and we can send you an invite.
