The ELCA celebrates Transgender Day of Visibility

Elizabeth Eaton, presiding bishop of the ELCA, has issued a video message for Transgender Day of Visibility. In the video, Eaton speaks out against the inhumane actions by legislatures and executive orders while also speaking directly to the transgender and nonbinary community.

“God created you in God’s image and loves and cares for you exactly as you are. … You deserve to be safe in our communities. Bullying and discrimination have no place in the body of Christ,” Eaton said.
