The Interfaith Alliance The Interfaith Alliance (TIA) is nonpartisan advocacy organization, and very gay friendly. Founded in 1994 to challenge the radical religious right, TIA remains committed to promoting the positive and healing role of religion in public life by encouraging civic participation, facilitating community activism, and challenging religious political extremism.TIA strives to protect both the sanctity of religion and the integrity of government. As religion and the United States government become increasingly entangled, faith is being manipulated to influence policy and advance political strategy. As a result, religion's power to unite and heal is being severely compromised in order to accomplish partisan objectives. TIA and our members work to ensure that America is a nation where religious belief and practice are free and voluntary, and that the government does not favor or discriminate against citizens based on their religious belief or non-belief.
