Ökumenische Arbeitsgruppe Homosexuelle und Kirche (HuK), German for Working Group Homosexuality and Church, is a German NGO organized by LGBTTIQ Christians of different denominations in concern of homosexual people in religion and churches. Although the claim of the association is cross-gender, the members are mostly gay men. Lesbians who are interested in this topic are also organized in women-specific associations in Germany. The founders of the group which eventually became HuK gathered at the Deutscher Evangelischer Kirchentag German Protestant Church Fair in 1977 and founded the group. That makes HuK one of the oldest lesbian-gay organisations in Germany. The members came from diverse backgrounds, the common factor being the discrimination experienced in the churches. At the same time, HuK was distrusted in the gay community because it did not distance itself from the discriminatory churches but wanted to achieve progress from within. In 1978 HuK had 71 members, in February 1979 it was 101 already. Regional groups were formed, for example in Berlin, Frankfurt and Tübingen. At the beginning, the main concern was to stop the churches from classifying homosexual people as "sick" and to put an end to discrimination against homosexuals within the churches.
