The Cyrenaian Hedonic Church affirms the dignity, legitimacy, and full humanity of LGBTQIA+ people in all forms of identity, embodiment, expression, and relational life.
Queer existence is not symbolic within this framework. It is real, present, and already part of the human condition the Church engages with.
We reject any interpretation of identity, desire, or embodiment that frames LGBTQIA+ lives as pathological, secondary, or in need of correction.
We support the right of all people to live openly, safely, and without coercion in their identities and relationships, including but not limited to gender identity, sexual orientation, romantic configuration, and forms of embodied expression.
Participation in this Church presupposes respect for queer autonomy and a commitment to opposition against harm, erasure, and discrimination.
