GLIDE Church is pleased to present the inaugural Gender Identity and Expression Summit sponsored by the GLIDE PRIDE Team, Friday, May 5 to Sunday, May 7. The kick-off event and three-day summit will take place at GLIDE (330 Ellis Street @ Taylor, San Francisco) and include a movie screening, speeches, panel discussions, an art exhibit, and Sunday Celebrations that will help deepen an understanding of issues related to transgender and gender-expansive people, foster empowerment and solidarity with and among people of faith, and provide a space for people to discuss issues of spirituality and gender expression and identity.
“In a time when the marginalized are feeling more vulnerable to hate and fear, GLIDE stands committed, as it has for over 50 years, to unconditional love and acceptance,” said GLIDE co-founder, Janice Mirikitani.
For more than five decades, GLIDE Church has stood with people who face discrimination and marginalization,” said Bishop Warner H. Brown, Interim Senior Pastor. “The doors of GLIDE Church have always been open to everyone no matter their race, gender, sexuality, religion, age or financial situation.”
All events are free and open to the public, but people should register via Eventbrite. Reporters may attend the summit, but please RSVP by contacting [email protected].
Schedule of Events:
Sunday, April 30, GLIDE’s Creative Space (first floor off of lobby)
10:15 am to 1:00 pm
GLIDE Community Exhibit: In Their Own Words
Curated by GLIDE co-founder Janice Mirikitani with Outreach Coordinator Teri Harpo, this exhibit of poster art installed in the GLIDE Creative Space celebrates the Transgender community through story and graphic art. The exhibit will showcase GLIDE’s values of unconditional love and acceptance in its beloved, diverse, inclusive community, where everyone’s humanity is celebrated. The transgender community provides an opportunity to learn what it truly means to be sensitive and loving of all gender identities.
Three-day Gender Identity and Expression Summit:
Friday, May 5, GLIDE Church
6:30 pm
Documentary Screening and Discussion: Free Cece
Enormously and tragically relevant today—as so far in 2017 nine transgender people have been killed, all of them people-of-color, eight of them trans feminine—Free Cece confronts the culture of violence surrounding trans women of color. The film relates the firsthand experience of Cece McDonald, told through the voices of Laverne Cox and Cece herself.
There will be a moderated panel discussion immediately following the screening.
