Each of us has worth and dignity, and that worth includes our gender and our sexuality. As Unitarian Universalists (UUs), we not only open our doors to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, we value diversity of sexuality and gender and see it as a spiritual gift. We create inclusive religious communities and work for LGBTQ justice, women’s rights, and equity as a core part of who we are. 

Women’s Rights are Human Rights

UUCSC supports human rights for all. Many congregants are engaged in local, national, and worldwide charitable and action-oriented initiatives led by women to improve the lives of women, thus improving the lives of everyone.
