Welcome to Universal Rainbow Faith
On February 2, 2025, I received a powerful inspiration. I was thinking about our community — our needs, our safety, our survival. So I asked ChatGPT: If LGBTQIA+ were a religion, would we be protected from discrimination?
The answer was yes.
A divine idea had been born — alchemized through modern technology and spiritual yearning. Something new. Something for today. Something for the here and now.
I spent many hours asking deep questions and fleshing out this inspiration. Why shouldn’t we have our own religion — our own faith, sacred practices, and holy observances?
How do religions start? How does faith begin? Who has the right to start something new?
When I was young, I imagined ministry. I didn’t know how or what church I might become ordained in. My spiritual journey started young: I was baptized Catholic at birth and became a born-again Christian in 1980, at five years old. At 14, I was introduced to new thought, the I-Ching, tarot, psychology, philosophy, astrology, and the mystical arts. I was open — like a fish to water. The faith of my family no longer fit who I was.
I came out at 14 to my mom as gay, and at 19 I told her I was a woman. Though I had known since I was 5, there was no one to tell me it was okay to be me — no one to affirm that I was holy, divine, and perfect in God’s eyes. I had to unlearn the belief in sin, judgment, and abomination. At age 12, God sent me a teacher who introduced me to new ideas and always encouraged me to keep an open mind.
Years later, I developed the practice of automatic “channeled” writing through journaling. Then came miracles — dramatic, undeniable, and frequent. I tried to dismiss them as coincidence, but God, the angels, and my guides would not let me.
After a series of powerful spiritual experiences, I finally surrendered on August 18, 2002. I accepted that what I was experiencing was real and from a loving divine source. That day I was struck sober after years of alcoholic destruction.
What has transpired in the 22 years since has prepared me for this moment.
I’ve always been deeply spiritual and intuitive. My greatest belief is that unconditional love is the greatest healing force in this world — it has healed me, taught me to love myself, and guided me to share that love with others.
I am a seeker of peace. I know that through unconditional love we can achieve both inner and outer peace — in ourselves and the world around us.
This journey has been extraordinary. I am grateful for this inspiration, which has come at a time it is so greatly needed. As I reach out to the LGBTQIA+ community — especially to our transgender community — I want you to know this:
No matter what anyone says — no matter what any government declares — you are beautiful. You are special. You are divine.
You are holy. The ground beneath you is sacred — because you are sacred.
My Qualifications
​
I bring to you over 30 years of spiritual practice — prayer, meditation, channeled writing, and deep spiritual intuition. I am a Reiki practitioner and community healer. I believe in our spiritual and intuitive selves — that we are divine creations.
I have spent decades bringing people together, building community, creating mission and vision, using the power of prayer and affirmation to heal neighborhoods, hearts, and lives.
I think about the children who suffer — those rejected by their families and churches, told they are broken, sick, immoral, or bound for hell.
To our children, teens, young adults, and all in the LGBTQIA+ community:
At Universal Rainbow Faith, you are loved, accepted, and divine.
A Prayer to Our Ancestors
To our LGBTQIA+ ancestors — especially those who died for freedom — we call upon you now.
Your lives were not lost in vain. Your suffering has opened a path for spiritual liberation. We ask your blessing upon this ministry, that it may grow and flourish. Be our eternal guardians. Protect us from harm. Grant us strength and courage. Walk with us.
We call upon all our ancestors and descendants — past, present, and future. May you watch over this church and all who enter.
May the divine principle of unconditional love guide and empower us.
To the omnipresent source of sacred truth: thank You for Your constant presence, Your wisdom, Your love. Be with us now and always.
My Personal Prayer
I call upon my spirit guides, my ancestors, and the Creator of my soul — guide me, lead me, that I may be of maximum service to Universal Rainbow Faith.
We draw from divine essence and eternal spirit. We, the LGBTQIA+ community, are close to the angelic kingdom. We are sacred vessels of light and truth. We have been entrusted with this spiritual mission:
To live with love. To walk in freedom. To express our soul’s essence.
We are here to help others awaken to their authenticity — to let their soul be their guiding light. “To thine own self be true” is our sacred motto.
We are teaching the world how to heal, how to accept, how to see the soul in every being. This is our sacred purpose.
Our Divine Mission
It is my deepest desire to offer our community religious freedom and freedom from religious persecution — through the founding of Universal Rainbow Faith.
This is not a new idea — it is ancient. We are reclaiming our place in history and in spirit. LGBTQIA+ people have made profound contributions to the world. We are sacred. We are divine. Our gender, our identity, our expression — all are holy.
How we speak, dress, love, live — these are acts of spiritual expression. They are part of the divine unfolding of our soul.
We are and have always been part of God — the Divine that existed before religion, before time. The Source of all creation. The force of love.
To all who find Universal Rainbow Faith:
​
We bless you. We welcome you.
You are sacred. You are chosen. You are called.
To live in your divine truth. To shine your authentic light. To walk boldly into visibility.
We are a living, breathing faith — empowered by the Creator, the love of our ancestors, and the light of our descendants.
We declare that we will no longer be silenced. No longer be erased. No longer be harmed, dismissed, laughed at, or forgotten.
We accept our truth. We claim our purpose. We honor our divine spark.
We unite in healing, peace, and power. And we make a call to all souls — to awaken, to rise, to love.
And so it is. Amen.

Sincerely,
In Rainbow Love & Light
