Affirmation: LGBTQ Mormons, Families & Friends Creating communities of safety, love, and hope for LGBTQ Mormons, former Mormons, families, and friends worldwide.

Affirmation is an independent nonprofit and is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Our mission is to create worldwide communities of safety, love, and hope and promotes understanding, acceptance, and self-determination of individuals of diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions. We affirm the inherent self-worth of LGBTQIA+ individuals as complete, equal, and valuable persons and support them as they define their individual spirituality and intersection with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Our vision is to be a refuge to land, heal, share, and be authentic.
