About Interweave and Lamda Souls
Interweave is a national organization affiliated with the Unitarian Universalist Association dedicated to the spiritual, political, and social well-being of Unitarian Universalists who are confronting oppression as gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, transgender persons, (GLBT) and their heterosexual allies. Interweave facilitates the celebration of the culture and lives of its members. The All Souls Interweave group, and its affiliate, Lambda Souls, also sponsor quarterly social events such as potlucks for GLBT folks, friends, and families.
