The Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) is a self-styled Christian church that openly accepts homosexuals. While some liberal churches have accepted homosexuals to various degrees, the MCC is unique in that it was founded by Reverend Troy Perry, a minister forced to leave his Church of God position for homosexuality, expressly to cater to homosexuals.
