Re that review of The Odyssey - In 2005, Showtime ran a movie called "Our Fathers" about the clergy sexual abuse crisis in Boston. It wasn't particularly good for lots of reasons. Regardless, I remember sitting next to someone who literally laughed out loud at one scene because of the inaccuracy.

The UUA decries today's U.S. Supreme Court decisions in Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J., which uphold state laws restricting transgender student athletes. We remain steadfast in affirming the inherent worthiness and dignity of trans people. Full statement at bit.ly/4wgs04V #UU

Centered in large white text is a quotation: "Our faith is clear that no court can strip or erase the inherent worthiness of trans, nonbinary, and intersex people."

Below the quote, the attribution reads: "- Carey McDonald" with "UUA Executive Vice President" in smaller italic text beneath the name.

The Unitarian Universalist Association logo appears in white in the lower left corner, and "UUA.ORG" appears in bold white text in the lower right. The overall design uses a modern, high-contrast blue color palette with clean typography that emphasizes the quote.

Centered on the image is a large quote in dark gray text inside a thin rectangular border. A red quotation mark icon appears at the top left of the quote box. The quote reads: “On behalf of the tens of thousands of UUs, their families, and their congregations, we call on you to end this war and end military interventions based on a radical religious ideology that most Americans do not share.”
