LGBT SUPPORTIVE RELIGIOUS OFFICIANT LIST - 20I4 At Equality Illinois, we work to promote a fair and unified Illi- nois where everyone is treated equally with dignity and respect and where all people live freely regardless of sexual orienta- tion, gender identity, or expression. We believe that everyone should have the same rights, responsibilities, and opportuni- ties afforded to them, and we envision a world where every loving, committed couple has the freedom to marry. Because of the hard work and commitment of our members and allies, we moved one step closer to achieving that vision when the Illinois legislature passed the Religious Freedom and Marriage Fairness Act in 2013. With our newly-codified free- dom to marry in Illinois, many couples are planning to wed and some are looking to have a religious ceremony. Equality Illinois has assembled the following list of religious of- ficiants who are willing and able to perform same-gender wed- ding ceremonies. This list is organized by denomination, then by city, then by name of officiant. Please call the person listed as the best individual to contact for each officiant. If you, or someone you know, would like to be included on this list, please e-mail [email protected]. 2 | LGBT SUPPORTIVE RELIGIOUS OFFICIANT LIST - 2014 Who is the best person to contact about officiating a Name of Officiant: Denomination: Congregation: City Address: wedding ceremony?
