It is a fundamental
principle of Humanism and implicit in Jewish tradition to affirm the dignity
and equal rights of all people. Kahal B’raira is keenly aware of the
injustices done by religious and secular laws that discriminate against
minorities. We promote the freedom, equality, and empowerment of all
people, including those who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender
(GLBT). We welcome GLBT individuals and families to our congregation.
Kahal B’raira
advocates for the full and equal legal status of GLBT individuals and their
families. Such equality extends to the civil rights and responsibilities
of liberty, privacy, employment, residency, and citizenship, as well
as rights relating to marriage and divorce, child custody and adoption,
family insurance coverage, medical decisions and visitation, and
inheritance and survivor benefits.
