Welcome to Faithful Voices, Iowans of faith and goodwill working for marriage equality in Iowa. We are working to ensure that all couples, regardless of sexual orientation, have access to the rights and responsibilities of civil marriage, to take care of their family and contribute even more successfully to their communities. We come from many faith traditions and beliefs. We are clergy and laity, gay and straight who, from our faith and sense of justice and compassion, are compelled to work for civil equality for Iowa families headed by gay and lesbian couples.
As a project of Interfaith Alliance of Iowa, we unite diverse voices to champion religious freedom and respect for individual rights. Given it is the name of religion that is most often invoked by the vocal opponents of marriage equality, people of faith who support marriage equality have a particular responsibility and opportunity in helping make marriage equality a reality in Iowa. We recognize that there is a broad diversity of opinion among people of faith about marriage equality, including many who are undecided. Faithful Voices equips those who support marriage equality to be strong advocates and offers resources for those who need more information.
We invite you to join us. Add your faithful voice for equality.
