“There is a disgraceful misconception that all people of faith do not affirm the full spectrum of gender–a great many of us do. Let it be known instead that our beloveds are created in the image of God-Holy and whole.”

Yes, the Episcopal Church has LGBTQI2S+ bishops, priests, deacons, and lay leaders. Perhaps most famous is Bishop Gene Robinson, but many others too. We specifically have dozens of (out and proud) trans clergy, though no bishops yet; that said, being trans is not a barrier to being elected.

Tell the FTC: Hands Off Gender-Affirming Care | A4TE
The FTC has opened a 60-day public comment portal—and your action and your story are urgently needed. This is a critical opportunity to submit your public comments in support of gender-affirming care ...
🚨 Last day! to comment to the FTC on gender affirming care. The Episcopal Church supports 🏳️⚧️ care. Per resolution 2022-D066, we “advocate for access to gender affirming care in all forms as part of our Baptismal call to respect the dignity of every human being.” ⚓️

“As a religious leader, I don’t serve political powers, the principalities of this age. I serve Jesus of Nazareth, who came as a stranger, was oppressed by a state system and taught us and told us to welcome the stranger and to stand with all who suffer.” — Episcopal Bishop Julia Whitworth

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Photo of the Rev. Dr. Vicki Gray, deacon in the Episcopal Church, who died on August 3 at the age of 86. Vicki was the first openly trans person to be ordained in the Diocese of California (San Francisco Bay Area), in 2006.
In this posed photograph taken from her Facebook page, she wearing a black blouse and baby-blue knitted cardigan sweater, a blue-and-white necklace and earrings. She has blond hair and a broad smile as she looks directly at the camera.
Thank you to Episcopal News Service for honoring the Rev. Vicki Gray with this story about her path-breaking life and ministry:

Good piece of reporting here on the impact of anti-trans laws on communities beyond trans folks and their families. We hear many of these stories from churches across the country.

Deacon Vicki Gray stands, smiling broadly, amidst a crowd of fellow advocates for LGBTQ inclusion at the General Convention of the Episcopal Church in Anaheim in 2009. Vicki is wearing a bright green shirt with white lettering that says:
HERE I AM
SEND ME!
I am a witness
to God’s
inclusive love
The others in crowd are wearing similar tshirts in bright green, red, and blue colors.
We are so sad to have lost our comrade the Rev. Dr. Vicki Gray over the weekend. She was a dear friend, fierce advocate, devoted deacon, and member of our Steering Committee for many years. We lift up our friend with gratitude for her life and witness. ⚓️
