Love Welcome Conference Notes

Recently, I attended the Love Welcome Conference on LGBTQ Refugees and Asylum Seekers.  I got a lot of very useful information on the intersections of sexual identity, gender identity, and refugee/asylum status.  From legal rights to the role of spirituality, from detention centers to overcoming torture, I learned a LOT about these experiences and how I and the Church can help. 

Below are the notes I took via Twitter, organized by subject.  I have put them here as a resource for anyone looking to learn more about and help LGBTQ refugees and asylum seekers. Please read and share them as you wish.
