About Affirmation: LGBTQ Mormons, Families, & Friends

Affirmation: LGBTQ Mormons, Families, & Friends serves the Salt Lake City, UT community and beyond by creating inclusive spaces for LGBTQIA+ individuals navigating their spiritual identity within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The organization provides comprehensive support and resources designed to promote understanding, acceptance, and self-determination for people of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. Affirmation operates as a dedicated refuge where current and former Latter-day Saints can access community, healing, and authentic connection with others who share similar experiences and values. The organization affirms the inherent self-worth of all LGBTQIA+ individuals, recognizing them as complete, equal, and valuable persons deserving of respect and dignity. Through its worldwide network, Affirmation facilitates meaningful relationships and provides a safe environment where members can explore their spirituality on their own terms. The organization's approach emphasizes that individuals can authentically live their lives while maintaining their own understanding of faith and personal belief systems. Affirmation works to bridge the gap between LGBTQIA+ identity and religious practice, offering support that honors both aspects of a person's identity. By fostering communities of safety, love, and hope, Affirmation enables individuals to heal, grow, and share their journeys with others who understand their unique circumstances and challenges.
