Signature Stole (West Hollywood, CA Presbyterian Church)

(Note: A signature stole is one that is covered with the signatures of both gay and straight members of a congregation, denominational governing body, or other organization.  These stoles serve the dual purpose of showing support for LGBT persons, while also protecting their anonymity by including their names as "one among many".)

This is one of about two dozen stoles donated by West Hollywood Presbyterian Church.  WHPC is the only identified Presbyterian Church in the U.S. in which LGBT persons make up a majority of the membership.
