About OUUT -- Omaha Unitarian Universalists for Tolerance

OUUT was formed in 2002 originally as a Interweave (UUA GLBT affiliated group) Group, but now is an independent group affilated with the First Unitarian Church of Omaha (and our friends at Second Unitarian Church of Omaha) and is dedicated to the spiritual, political, and social well-being of individuals who are confronting oppression as lesbians, gay men, bisexual persons, transgendered persons, and their heterosexual allies. It celebrates the culture and lives of its members. OUUT has four primary goals: ** To provide fellowship for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered persons for support, socializing, and sharing of life issues to members of the church and in the community at large. ** To extend invitation to the larger GBLT community to explore the religious alternative offered by Unitarian Universalism; ** To reduce prejudice by increasing understanding and acceptance among people of different sexual orientations by providing educational programs and workshops to the larger UU congregation and heterosexual community; and ** To support efforts of other community social, spiritual, and political groups to end all forms of oppression, including homophobia, heterosexism, sexism, racism, and ableism.
