We Believe?
LGBTQ+ Religious Experiences in Central PA

Looking Forward

Many of the stories in this exhibit show the increasing acceptance LGBTQ+ people are receiving in religious communities, as well as the spaces LGBTQ+ people have created when mainstream religious spaces proved intolerant. While the story of LGBTQ+ people and their relationship to and experiences with religion may be a fraught one, it is one that shows the resilience of this community to insist that it belongs in the same spaces as everyone else, including in churches, synagogues, temples, mosques, and places of worship of all kinds.
