Salt Lake Affirmation is the Utah chapter of Affirmation: Gay & Lesbian Mormons, an international non-profit fellowship serving lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersexed Latter- day Saints since 1977. The group aims to provide a safe, inclusive space for people from Mormon backgrounds who live along the Wasatch Front. We affirm that living as a gay person can be positive and is not incompatible with spirituality. We are a diverse group that embraces a variety of lifestyles and holds a variety of attitudes towards spirituality, religion, morality, and politics. We are bound together by the common purpose of affirming that being “other” than heterosexual is of no more consequence in the eternal scheme than blue eyes or left handedness. “It just is.”
