Integrity USA have published an excellent overview and celebration of our work here at LGBT-FAN. Written by one of our co-founders, Max Niedzwiecki, the article highlights the on-the-ground work carried out by our Worcester-based members, The LGBT Asylum Support Task Force. Max then explains why he has been motivated to set up LGBT-FAN:

“While I served as Executive Director of Integrity USA, and now as a member of the New Orleans chapter, I have often heard the question raised: Now that we can have our relationships blessed by priests, there are a lot of friendly Episcopal churches, and openly LGBT people can even serve as bishops, what is Integrity for? Is it time to declare victory and move on?
One answer to that question is that Integrity must continue to exist in order to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, care for the sick, and visit those in prison. One of Integrity’s special missions might be to follow these Christian commandments, with a special focus on people who have landed on our doorsteps after fleeing for their lives because of anti-LGBT bigotry and terror.”
We’re happy to that our work is being shared, and we’re always eager to talk about our goals and aims. If you are involved in a community that would be interested in covering our activities, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
