Folks:

I am reading in horror about the Upstairs Lounge Fire in June 1973. The Upstairs Lounge was a gay bar; this fire resulted in 32 deaths; it was the 2nd worse attack on the LGBTQ community after the Pulse gay bar attack in June 2016.

What was very attrocious to me was the fact the no church would welcome a memorial service for the Upstairs Lounge Fire victims.

Several churches who refused to host a memorial were named, but no UU churches were named.

I wonder if the UU church in New Orleans was approached for hosting a memorial and if so, did the UU church refuse to do this like the others?

I have done much internet searching and could not come up with anything.

Are there members of the New Orleans UU Church here who could shed some light?

Thank you

Love
