Coalition of Counselors (A-Z)
The coalition of counselors are therapists that we have met with, screened and deemed safe to provide counseling to members of our community.
This is how they have answered the following questions:
- Do you believe homosexuality is a sin? No
- Do you believe gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people should have the right to marry and adopt children? Yes
- Do you believe that homosexuality is in any way secondary or less than heterosexuality? No
They have all signed the following statement:
"I believe that all people are created equal and entitled to all civil rights and liberties as available in this country; that all people deserve to feel safe and free to be authentic within their families, jobs and communities; and that oppression of the LGBT community must end."
Are you a counselor who'd like to join the Coalition? Please Contact Us.
Do you know a counselor who you think should be included? Nominate them here!
