wfn.org | Faith Groups Observe "World Day of Prayer to End Homophobia" on May The international observance is organized by Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC), the world's largest faith group with a primary, affirming ministry to gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender (LGBT) persons. "Too often homophobia has been rooted in religious intolerance," said veteran human rights activist Reverend Dr. Troy D. Perry, Moderator of the MCC denomination. "Discrimination against any of God's children is wrong." According to Perry, "Homophobia distorts the spiritual message of God's love for all people."
