We launched #HonestChurch in Aug 22 to encourage greater honesty about the true welcome that LGBTQ+ people receive in a church. The campaign has grown since then, but the aim remains the same: empower students to find a church where they can thrive, & ask churches to be honest about their beliefs 💒
