Mormons participate in Pro-Gay Religious Roundtable (Pro-Gays of Faith Meet in CO)
A religious homosexual rights group includes members of the Mormon
Church, according to information released by the organization, the
National Religious Leadership Roundtable. The organization, which
held its twice-yearly meeting on August 23rd and 24th in Colorado
Springs, Colorado, includes members of at least 11 faiths. It seeks
to "affirm and defend the equality of all people, regardless of
gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation."
The Roundtable was formed in 1998, but is still working on a mission
statement as well as its strategy and a policy on how it would
comment on actions taken by a single religion.
