Faith in America Takes a Stand for Equality

Volunteers organized by Faith in America sent a message to attendees at the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting in Phoenix last month: Faith-based homophobia and transphobia are harmful to young people. As part of its "Save yOur Kids!" campaign, the group sponsored mobile and stationary billboards around the city and engaged in conversations about LGBT acceptance with Southern Baptists, who are members of the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S. — and one that considers being LGBT a sin. The billboard pictured here was cruising down Third Street past the Phoenix Convention Center, where the Southern Baptist confab was held.
