PRIDE & FAITH
PRIDE AND FAITH
Together we explore the intersectionality of faith, sexual and gender diversity within the LGBTIQA+ community. We provide a safe and supportive space where people from all religious backgrounds can gather to share their spiritual journey, explore their faith and support each other in an inclusive environment.
​
Whether you are looking for support in reconciling your sexual and gender identity with your faith, or simply want to participate in conversations about spirituality and diversity, you are welcome.
