  • Unitarian Universalism and the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) have a long-standing tradition of welcoming LGBT people. The first ordained minister of any religion in the U.S. or Canada to come out was the Rev. James Stoll in 1969. There have been UUA resolutions supporting people regardless of sexual orientation since 1970, and a popular program of becoming a "Welcoming Congregation" since 1989. UUA has officially supported UUA clergy performing Services of Union between same-sex couples since 1984, and has supported same-sex marriage since 1996. In 2004 UU Minister Rev. Debra Haffner of The Religious Institute on Sexual Morality, Justice, and Healing published An Open Letter on Religious Leaders on Marriage Equality to affirm same-sex marriage from a multi-faith perspective. The UUA maintains an Office of Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, and Transgender Concerns (which operates the Welcoming Congregation programme). There is also a fellowship of LGBT Unitarian Universalists and supporters called Interweave Continental. The Canadian Unitarian Council (CUC) similarly operates a Gender and Sexual Diversity Monitoring Group and, like the UUA (of which it became autonomous only in 2002), has Welcoming Congregations. The CUC also performs same-sex marriages in Canada.
  • El unitarismo universalista y la Asociación Unitaria Universalista (AUU) tienen una larga tradición de haber recibido con los brazos abiertos a las personas LGBT. El primer ministro religioso de cualquier iglesia en salir del armario en los Estados Unidos o Canadá fue el reverendo James Stoll en 1969. Desde 1970 ha habido numerosas declaraciones de la AUU apoyando a las personas sin importar su orientación sexual, y desde 1989 existe un programa que ha gozado de popularidad denominado "Welcoming Congregation" (Congregación hospitalaria). La AUU ha apoyado oficialmente que los clérigos de la AUU realicen Servicios de Unión entre parejas del mismo sexo desde 1984, y ha apoyado el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo desde 1996. En 2004 la reverenda unitario-universalista Debra Haffner del The Religious Institute on Sexual Morality, Justice, and Healing publicó An Open Letter on Religious Leaders on Marriage Equality to affirm same-sex marriage from a multi-faith perspective (Carta abierta a los líderes religiosos sobre la equidad matrimonial para apoyar el matrimonio homosexual desde una perspectiva multi-fe). La AUU tiene una Oficina de Preocupaciones de Bisexuales, Gays, Lesbianas y Transexuales, que también lleva a cabo el programa de bienvenida de la Congregación hospitalaria. Existe también un grupo LGBT de unitarios universalistas y sus seguidores llamado Interweave Continental.
