What Do We Do?

Affirmation provides a variety of opportunities for service, fun, friendship, personal enrichment, and spiritual growth. We work together to help remove barriers to acceptance and promote dignity and respect for sexual minorities, focusing on issues relevant to those from a Mormon background.

Types of Activities:

  • Annual Conferences

    Held in the U.S., our weekend conferences offer us a chance to meet as an entire organization. Here we renew friendships, learn from interesting speakers and workshops, participate in community events and outings, laugh together at banquets, shows and parties, and cry together at devotionals and AIDS memorials. It can be a life-changing experience.   Learn more about our most recent & next conferences

  • Cornerstones

    These smaller "retreats" are held throughout the U.S. and (so far) once in Europe. They are typically used to build local chapters, plan the future of our organization, and to simply enjoy being together.    See report about a Cornerstone

  • Local Chapter Meetings

    Affirmation chapter meetings may include social educational or spiritual aspects, depending on what each chapter feels would best serve its member's needs. Examples include: open discussions, guest speakers, potluck socials, parties, scripture study and outings.   See where local chapters are organized

  • Gamofites (Gay Mormon Fathers)

    This independent, but closely affiliated organization is designed for fathers united in the joy of being both gay and associated with Mormons. Since January 1992, the group has planned and executed semiannual retreats where, in informal group conversation, participants can respond to the collective needs of members.    Gamofites website

  • Q-Saints

    Not a meeting in the traditional sense, this active electronic mailing list brings many of us together for interesting online discussions on gay Mormon issues.   Q-Saints site
