The Human Rights Campaign will host a town hall meeting in Greensboro, N.C. to empower people of faith to take action on behalf of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender equality. LGBT people of faith and their allies will learn to engage their respective religious communities and elected officials by speaking from their own traditions about the moral imperative and value of LGBT inclusion in congregational, communal, and civic life. The event will also address ways to combat misleading information from the religious right about LGBT people and families.

“Faith and Fairness Town Hall: Finding Strength and Tools for LGBT Advocacy in Your Faith Tradition” will be held Thursday, March 18, beginning at 6:00 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro, 617 North Elm Street.
