Equality Ohio Denounces Vandalism of Church Sign

Equality Ohio would like to extend its sympathy to Havens Corners Church in Blacklick, Ohio, whose message board was vandalized last Saturday night. We offered our assistance with cleaning their message board. We do not condone this type of behaivor.

Havens Corners Church in Blacklick, Ohio doesn’t speak for all faith communities in Ohio

Many religious and/or spiritual gay and transgender people are looking for spiritual homes in Ohio – Havens Corners obviously is not the place for them. The message on Havens Corners’ outdoor sign clearly indicates that gay and transgender people are not welcome there.

Equality Ohio is in the middle of a project collecting a list of welcoming and affirming faith communities around the state. The list is already over 300. We are actively working with faith communities who are interested in becoming welcoming and affirming and look forward to working with these faith communities to create an Ohio where everyone feels at home.

Want to be on the list? Want to know if your church is on the list? Contact Kim at kim@equalityohio.org
