Affirming Connections believe in the full inclusion of all 2SLGBTQIA+ people in the life and ministry of any faith community. Affirming Connections seeks to support and enhance the positive voices of people of faith, ministries, and organizations who work to eliminate religious discrimination and to provide spaces of belonging for people to explore their spirituality without any fear of exclusion. Queer folks deserve to participate in the spiritual and religious practices and spaces that are meaningful to them. This is not simply an altruistic statement but is grounded in theology, human rights, love, and the firm belief that healthy religion invites us to be more of who we are, not less.
