As LGBTQ families we’ve faced challenging transitions and experienced life-altering transformations. Celebrate those transformations in a safe space where all can give voice to that which longs to be free. This expression-based, fun-filled conference empowers participants to know one another just like we each long to be known for our authentic selves.

The LGBTQ Conference has been shortened and will take place from Saturday, August 27 through Tuesday, August 30. Those who had registered for the full six-day conference may wish to remain on Star for rest, relaxation, and to join other scheduled island activities. This three-day gathering will have a full schedule of events and offer participants a lively and engaging program. Main speaker and specialist in transgender issues Dr. Michelle Angelo; minister of the week and guest speaker Rev. Nate Walker; and Bruce Knotts, Executive Director of the UU United Nations Office will be presenting during the conference.

We are accepting new registrations and encourage anyone with questions to please contact the registrar using the link above.
