Welcome to the Lesbian & Gay Christian Movement

All the world's major religions are faced with having to come to terms with a modern understanding of homosexuality. The place of gay and lesbian people in the life of the Church is currently Christianity's most divisive issue. Confronting homophobia is its greatest challenge. The Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement is proclaiming a basic Christian truth. It is working for the very love and freedom that Christ brings to his people through his life, death and resurrection. LGCM is working for love, for peace, for justice, and for the promotion of the Christian faith especially within the LGBT community.

  1. LGCM welcomes parliamentary equal marriage vote

    6 February 2013

    The Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement (LGCM) has welcomed the House of Commons decision to back equal marriage in England and Wales. Over two-thirds of the MPs who voted were in favour of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill, which has cross-party support. The Bill still has to pass through committee stage, and the House of Lords, to become law.

    Rev Sharon Ferguson, Chief Executive of LGCM, said:

    The debate and vote in Parliament for marriage equality are extremely encouraging. Many MPs spoke movingly about the issues involved, including a number whose Christian faith has led them to support equal marriage.

    There is still some way to go before the Bill becomes law, so we should not be complacent. Those who believe in equality need to continue to make the case for allowing couples to pledge their love and commitment to each other in marriage, and for faith communities which wish to celebrate this to be allowed to do so. This will extend religious freedom.

    Changing the law here will bring practical, emotional and spiritual benefits to many lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) people, their families and communities in England and Wales. It will also bring hope and encouragement to LGBT people and human rights activists in those other parts of the world, including in the Commonwealth, where homophobic laws seriously damage people’s lives. Working for justice is part of witnessing to God’s love for all.
