Bloomington Friends Meeting seeks to be an open, affirming, and inclusive community that welcomes the full participation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer persons in all roles within our faith community. We have a long history of belief in and support for same-sex marriage, both spiritually and legally. Following the Book of Faith and Practice of Ohio Valley Yearly Meeting, the regional Quaker body with which we are affiliated, we call “for full equality for people of all gender identities and sexual orientations, and for the elimination of legal barriers to marriage and full equality.”
