Movement Moments: The National LGBTQ Task Force at 50
In 1973, a group of LGBTQ activists came together to form the National LGBTQ Task Force and advance a progressive vision of liberation for the LGBTQ+ community. But our fights are far from over – join us for a series of conversations about the past 50 years and the next from the voices and organizers who helped shape our history.

“Breaking Myths on All Different Sides” — Being Queer and Being of Faith with Reverend Nicole Garcia & Reverend Eric Eldritch
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As queer people, we have seen religion used as a tool of oppression and exclusion for centuries – but there are thousands of us who are finding community and forging our own path through faith.
We sat down with Reverend Nicole Garcia and Reverend Eric Eldritch to discuss their interfaith work at the Task Force, living as an “ex-vangelical”, and dispelling the myth that you can’t be queer and be of faith.
