"First Parish in Malden is a 375 year old congregation located in Malden Center right off the orange line. Over the past ten years, First Parish in Malden has become known as a queer centered congregation in the Boston area. First Parish includes Queer and Transgender people in leadership (including an openly queer and transgender minister who has been with the congregation for four years) as well as social justice work that directly gives to the transgender community through its partnership with Pink Haven, an organization that helps transgender folks leave states where laws are threatening their welfare."
