Today we recognize the International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia. While the rights of LGBTQ2S+ people in many parts of the world have been significantly advanced in recent decades, there is still much progress to be made.

We call on governments and institutions of faith, both at home and abroad, to reaffirm the fundamental right of all LGBTQ2S+ people to be treated with equality, equity, respect and dignity.

There can be no true equality until everyone is free from discrimination, persecution and stigma.
