“Gay Amish people have been excluded from the very start of the Anabaptist movement. We are still oppressed and shunned today. America is quick to laud the Amish for their lifestyle but remains silent on their homophobia. Amish practice shunning which is forced family separation and conversion therapy which is illegal.
The harm caused by the church has led to LGBTQ Amish suicide and physical, emotional and spiritual abuse.
The Amish communities place a great emphasis on their ancestors who were martyred yet today persecute their LGBTQ minority.”
