This week gave us faith and outrage!

 German catholic priests defied the Vatican’s ban by offering blessings to gay couples, the United Kingdom will ban conversion therapy and support people who experienced it, a New Zealand weightlifter is set to be the first transgender Olympian, and New York’s third annual alt-Pride will hit the streets on June 27. 

Despite these incredible advances, the Serbian President stated that he will not sign the same-sex unions bill even after the European Court of Human Rights ruled that all Council of Europe member nations must recognize same-sex relationships. Moreover, Poland's left questioned a police textbook that lists LGBT as social pathology.

The fight for freedom continues into another week. We wish you faith and that you remember your Pride!
