Dignity Inc

We seek change in the teachings, practices, and services of the Catholic church as it impacts LGBTQIA+ people and allies. We work for justice, equality, and full inclusions in all areas of religious and civil life.

DignityUSA offers affirming spiritual community that afford unconditional welcome to people of all gender identities and sexual orientation, as well as faith-based advocacy supporting equality and justice for the LGBTQIA+ community.

With over 55 years of experience, members throughout the United States, and deeply committed volunteers and staff, we have credibility, knowledge, and the commitment to keep working towards the achievement of our mission.

Our organization has birthed a global movement of LGBTQIA+-supportive Catholics. We have seen dramatic increases in religious, especially Catholic support, for full inclusion of the LGBTQIA+ community in our church, for civil rights protections, and for changes in official church teachings and practices over our 55+ years of work, and especially since the 1990s. In the US and most western countries, over 70% of Catholics now support legal protections for marriage equality, transgender equality, service access, etc. We have spearheaded the development of a network of LGBTQ+-friendly parishes and Catholic communities, supported the emergence of Catholic Queer theology, and been a consistent voice across many media platforms for a positive Catholic view of LGBTQIA+ people.
