Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Rights and Recognition The
central concept of Quakerism, that there is a
direct relationship
between God and the individual, and that each
person is therefore
uniquely precious, leads naturally to a
respect for human beings in all
their great diversity. This understanding is
at the heart of AFSC's
long-standing commitment to work and support
of LGBT people.
Moral and spiritual principles
provide
guidance
on issues
raised by
international trade and investment.
