About the Unitarian Universalist Voice for Justice. Unitarian Universalists have a demonstrated 50+ year history of acceptance and inclusion in areas that are often controversial in religious denominations– including support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons; women’s health and reproductive rights; interfaith cooperation and support; and racial justice.
When instances of intolerance or discrimination occur in the Greater Houston area around these issues, ours will be a clear religiously progressive voice to provide balance and insight. Visit the website at: https://www.uuhouston.org/uuv4j
