Affirming Connections is one of the only organizations in Canada dedicated solely to the intersection of faith and queer inclusion. Too often, queer people are told they must choose between who they are and what they believe. We exist so no one has to make that choice. Through education, advocacy, and resourcing, we equip faith communities to be publicly, intentionally, and explicitly inclusive, while supporting queer and trans people in finding safety, belonging, and celebration. When we are resourced, entire communities change—becoming safer, more compassionate, and more engaged in 2SLGBTQIA+ advocacy. Funding is challenging to procure in these complex intersections. Your support ensures this life-saving work continues, future-proofing our ability to create spaces where queer people and families are not only welcomed, but recognized as vital voices and leaders. Together, we can eliminate religious discrimination and build a society where everyone is safe, celebrated, and free to thrive.
