About Organization

Parity is a faith-based nonprofit headquartered in New York City that works to heal divisions between LGBTQ+ people and faith communities. The organization partners with diverse religious groups and secular organizations to foster understanding and create surprising friendships across the LGBTQ+ and faith divide.
