based mennonites i guess
Mennonites are generally pretty good on Palestine. The anti violence angle can lead to some annoying rhetoric, but they’ve been on the right side for a long time.
I've read material from some official mennonite orgs and they seem to be pretty anti-racist and anti-inequality
idk what their positions on LGBT are though, but I'm not optimistic
- Are there LGBTQ Mennonites? How can I find a congregation that is welcoming and affirming for people who are LGBTQ?
Inclusion and the membership status of LGTBQ individuals varies by conference and congregation across MC USA. Discernment around this has been a cause of pain and disagreement.
Yes, there are LGBTQ Mennonites and LGBTQ-affirming Mennonite congregations. There are also Mennonite congregations who discern that same-sex marriage is sinful. A congregation’s website will often communicate if it is welcoming and affirming for people who are LGBTQ.
My original church wasn't cool with queers, but the one my mom goes to now is.
