LGBT clergy refers to religious leaders who identify as part of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender communities. These individuals serve in various faith traditions, providing spiritual guidance and support to their congregations while advocating for inclusivity and acceptance within their religious communities. Many denominations have become more open to LGBT clergy, allowing them to perform religious ceremonies and hold leadership positions. This shift reflects broader societal changes regarding LGBT rights and aims to create a more welcoming environment for all believers, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
