On Saturday, December 12, the Rainbow Revival is bringing its “Freedom March” to Central Park. The event centers people who say they’ve “left LGBTQ+ identities behind,” and it promotes the message that being queer is something to be healed from.

We believe something different: that LGBTQ+ people are created in God’s image and loved exactly as we are.

PFLAG NYC, Kaleidoscope Ministries, and LGBTQ+ Christians and allies from across the city are coming together to offer a peaceful, prayerful presence. We’ll have a welcome table and prayer station, hand out water, and hold signs with one simple message: you are loved.

This isn’t a protest against anyone. It’s a witness for every person at the event who needs to know there’s another way.

All are welcome: LGBTQ+ folks, parents, allies, people of every faith or none. We ask everyone who joins us to commit to peace, kindness, and non-engagement with anyone looking for a fight.
