The LGBTQ+ Caucus met on Saturday, June 15 via Zoom to vote on endorsing both resolutions and candidates for elected positions. Resolutions considered for endorsement were recommended by Caucus members. All persons seeking elected positions were contacted by the Endorsements Committee of the Caucus, and were requested to complete a questionnaire if they wished to be considered for endorsement. Adopted endorsements are as follows:

Endorsements of Candidates for Elected Positions:

President of the House of Deputies

No Endorsement

The Caucus did contact the three candidates running for President of the House of Deputies, and all three responded. At our meeting on Saturday, June 15, it was the will of the Caucus, given the unique and unprecedented circumstances of this particular election, that we not give endorsement to any of the candidates, though they are all uniquely gifted and each possess qualities that are gifts to the Church.
