The UUA History of "Interweave"

Interweave began as "UUs for Gay Concerns" in the early 1970s as a grassroots support network for sexual minority people and clergy in the UUA. In 1973 it advocated successfully for a UUA "Office of Gay Affairs" (now the Office of Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Concerns) and for the Office's funding in 1975. "UUs for Gay Concerns" held its first Convocation in 1983, with workshops and speakers designed to raise awareness of gay and lesbian issues. In 1993, the name "Interweave: UUs for BGLT Concerns" was adopted and Interweave merged with the UU Bisexual Network to emphasize its commitment to inclusion for all identity groups and to encourage individual and chapter memberships. In 1994 Interweave resolved to address institutional racism by creating an outreach to people of color, and in 1999 became the first UUA affiliate to begin the Journey Toward Wholeness anti-racism process.

Interweave continues to promote interfaith dialogue through participation in the National Religious Leadership Roundtable, Equal Partners in Faith, and other multi-faith organizations. Interweave is dedicated to becoming an anti-racist, multi-cultural institution, working to end all forms of oppression within the UUA and society at large.
