Org Members

LYCI is the coordinating body for all of the LYC Chapters
throughout the world and every Chapter is a member.
Other non-LYC groups may be permitted to become members
at the discretion of the LYCI executive committee, but
usually only where the group in question accepts the
principles and objects of the Long Yang Club and fully
supports the LYC network.

LYCI is governed by a written constitution (click here for text of LYCI Constitution) and by-laws. It
is managed by a board of executive officers (click for more info) who are elected annually by the
individual Chapters at the LYCI AGM which is held at the annual convention.

Have you gone to other churches and felt unwelcome or unaccepted
because you didn't quite fit in?
Have you been looking for a place where you can be yourself and pursue
a deeper relationship with God?
You are welcome and accepted at Living Water Fellowship.

Maybe you've been searching but you're not quite sure what you
believe or where you fit in. We invite you to come to a safe place to
figure it out. You are free to be who you are at Living Water Fellowship.

We are a family of people who desire to touch and better the lives
of others in our community through various events including a homeless
outreach, a food pantry and other ministries.

You'll love the casual atmosphere with some comfy chairs, a loveseat,

Since our
founding by Dr. Louie Crew in rural Georgia in 1974, Integrity has been the
leading grassroots voice for the full inclusion of LGBT persons in the Episcopal
Church and our equal access to its rites.  However, advocacy is only one facet of our
ministry.  At the national level and in local
chapters and diocesan networks
throughout the country, the primary activities are:

• worship
• fellowship
• education
• communication
• outreach, and
• service to the church

Through Integrity's evangelism, thousands of
LGBT people,
estranged from the Episcopal Church and other denominations, have returned to parish life.

These funds are raised throughout the year by various fundraisers and donations from individuals and corporate sponsorships. The Court of Seattle annually provides educational scholarships to deserving high school or post high school undergraduates who reside in the state of Washington. We believe that by encouraging the pursuit of post high school educational goals we are helping tomorrow's individuals develop their potential and thus further enhance our community. The long-range purpose of these scholarships is to enhance self-esteem, recognize diversity, support personal development and acknowledge and support sensitivity and acceptance of human rights. For this reason, preference will be given to self-identified gay or lesbian students.

The Court of
Seattle General Membership Meeting is held the first
and third Tuesday of every month at
Neighbours Nightclub, 1509 Broadway, Seattle (Martini
Lounge entrance).
Meetings start at 7:00 pm and is open to the public.

The Board of Directors Meeting
is held every last Monday of every month at the Cuff Complex, 1533 13th Ave,
Seattle. Meetings start at 7:00 pm and is open to the public.

As an affirmation of our faith, and in accordance with our commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord, we covenant to:

Less than 20 years ago, before the formation of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), representations of lesbians and gay men tended to fall into one of two categories: defamatory or non-existent. Since its inception, GLAAD's impact on our community's visibility has been far-reaching. Not only have GLAAD staff and volunteers changed the way lesbians and gay men are portrayed on the screen and in the news, we've also become a major source of resources and information for entertainment and news media decision makers. Entertainment Weekly has named GLAAD as one of Hollywood's most powerful entities, and the Los Angeles Times described GLAAD as "possibly the most successful organizations lobbying the media for inclusion."

Formed in New York in 1985 to protest the New York Post's grossly defamatory and sensationalized AIDS coverage, GLAAD's work quickly spread to Los Angeles, where we began to educate Hollywood's entertainment industry on the importance of more accurate and realistic portrayals on the screen. As GLAAD's work grew and evolved over time, the organization moved from a chapter-based to a national organization, with offices in New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco. To serve regional and local media interests, GLAAD's Regional Media Program has grown to serve local communities and media outlets across the country via directed monitor and mobilize campaigns, calls to action, media trainings and on-the-ground community and media support.

The mission of Families Like Ours, Inc. is to make change by breaking down the barriers within the adoption and foster care communities. Therefore, reducing the amount of time our children are waiting for a stable and safe forever family.

We do our best to provide families interested in adoption with a network of principled placement agencies, ongoing education, support, advocacy and resources that are a cut above the rest.

We mentor all adoptive families. We guide you through the process, help you figure out the adoption maze and get you connected with the right people. Think of us as your adoption buddy. We are the single constant that is always there no matter what direction you head and what placement or state agency you choose.

We see making connections and building coalitions between different groups of people an important way to create social justice. As we work together and learn about each other, we can give mutual support for our rights and dignity.

An important part of what we do is educate ourselves and try to provide forums to share information. Over the last 15 years, our group has hosted many films focusing on diverse groups such as Black women comedians, Rom (Gypsy) people, Singaporian lesbians, Jewish Lesbians, women ex-mental patients and women in Afghanistan. These film showings are always benefits where we send all proceeds to groups related to the theme of the movie shown.
