How can a faith community, as allies, foster a space that helps LGBTQ+ people of faith find that fullness in themselves? No person should have to choose between different parts of themselves. Affirming For All will be a moderated talk with experts and leaders from different faith traditions discussing how communities of any faith can not only be accepting of their LGBTQ+ brethren, but affirming.

Elders give children the promise of community, continuity, and consciousness of self. They are the spiritual guides that keep culture and personal history alive in the hearts of the young. They nurture the love and understanding that can then withstand the difficulties and appreciate the beauty of our shared walk through life. We love and cherish our grandchildren and may be the most accepting because so many unimportant things are of no concern to us anymore compared to our precious children. If you identify as a grandparent or an intergenerational influence in the life of an LGBTQ+ person join us for the launch of our Loving Elders Support Group. We’ll meet the first Monday of each month from 7:00 - 8:30 pm ET. Learn more and register.
