Today, we honor LGBTQ+ youth from all faith backgrounds – with the first ever Q***r Youth of Faith Day! We see you, we celebrate you, we take PRIDE in you! Celebrate with us at the Live Webcast today at 2PM PT. Go to QYFDay.org

The BCA CBE is honored to participate with the support of the Bishop and several ministers.

Did you know that one in three LGBTQ+ youth identify with a religion? Sadly, many of them are pressured to choose between their faith and the freedom to live and love authentically. Today, we celebrate all q***r youth of faith, and we proclaim the human right to believe, to belong and to be loved.
