I live in East Houston and I only know of one gay friendly church here,
MCCR. I would like to have more options. If anyone knows, please inform
me! Thanks!

The Unitarian Universalist Association is very Gay-friendly. Each
congregation within the association has its own flavor so some might be
more Gay-friendly than others. Congregations that have worked through
their homophobia (and therefore might be more Gay-friendly than others)
are recognized as a "Welcoming Congregation". Unitarian Universalism is
not a Christian denomination but rather encourages its members to
determine for themselves what is appropriate to believe.


Unitarian Universalist Churches in Houston are listed below. I have
marked the one church which is listed as being a "Welcoming
Congregation". This does not mean that the others are not Gay-friendly.

I am not very familiar with the geography of Texas, so if you would like
to check which Unitarian Universalist Churches might be in the Houston
suburbs go to:
http://h5.uua.org/CongDir/CongShow.asp?state=TX

To check which of those might be welcoming congregations go to:
http://www.uua.org/obgltc/stateor.html

The letters "obgltc" in the above URL stands for the "Office of
Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian and Transgender concerns", which is at Unitarian
Universalist headquarters.

If you would like more information about Unitarian Universalism you can
E-mail me directly at the above address.

You may also want to check out and see if there are any United Church of
Christ congregations in you area.

Many UCC churches are open and friendly, so I would advise calling
first, and asking.
