Dignity/New Brunswick envisions and prays for the full inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender,
queer and intersex people in the Roman Catholic Church.
Below are links to documents and articles that are reminders of why lesbian and gay Catholics
are seeking reform within the church and challenging official church teaching.
Most of the links below will take you to official church documents.
This is by far an incomplete list but it is a start, and the lesbian and gay issue is not the only issue.
As I find others I will add them. Contributions are welcome!
