United Church of Christ
Unitarian Universalist
Church of the Brethren
Metropolitan Community Church
depending on where you are:
Most Episcopalian
Nearly all ELCA churches -- but NOT Missouri or Wisconsin Synod Lutheran.
Many United Methodist parishes, ask your local bishop's office -- if you are in a conservative diocese you will know quickly.
Morelight United Presbyterian Parishes
Most Congregational churches
Some Dutch Reform churches
Certain Roman Catholic parishes belonging to specific orders -- the Paulist Center in Boston is a good example.
NewAge/Christian:
Unity Church
In non-Christian circles:
Reform Judaism
Conservative Egalitarian Judaism
Correllian Natavist Church
Covenant of the Goddess
There are others, that is what I can think of off the top of my head. I hope that helps -- if you notify me by email what city you are in, I will try to help you find affirming congregations of your choice in your area.
Kind regards,
Reynolds Jones

The Unitarian Universalist Church is open to all people regardless of race, denomination, sexual orientation, etc. They even have gay or lesbian ministers in some of their churches. For more information (and location listings near you) you can go to this website: http://www.uua.org/

Aye, the MCC is the best. However, many others, including the Methodist and Episcopalians are friendly to a degree. Also, the Anglicans. They basically feel its just your business. That, that will be between you and God, not them and you. Which is refreshing.

No, The answe rwill come once the religious bigots realize that GOD loves all his men and women regardless of anything. He loves what he created and could care less what his followers think.
