UUFR Statement of Conscience -- Unanimously Approved 1/29/2012

We, the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Raleigh, affirm justice, equity, and compassion in human relations, and the inherent worth and dignity of all persons.

As we unanimously agreed in our 2004 congregational statement of conscience, we “affirm the basic right of same-gender couples to marry and to share fully and equally in the rights, responsibilities, and commitments of civil marriage”

In the absence of this right to marry, we resolve to oppose any law, policy, or practice that limits the recognition of same-gender couples’ relationships and families and any related rights and protections. We are especially called to oppose any attempt to enshrine such discrimination in the North Carolina Constitution.

We further resolve to that we will respect and protect same-gender couples and their families by raising awareness of the discriminatory effects of any proposed laws or constitutional amendments. We will also take specific actions to defeat such laws or constitutional amendments.
