What does affirming mean?
In the context of LGBTQ+ and religious settings, “affirming” means a church publicly declares that LGBTQ+ individuals are welcome in all aspects of church life, including membership, leadership, and sacraments, without any expectation of changing their sexual orientation or gender identity. Affirming churches perform same-sex marriages and are committed to full inclusion and acceptance—recognizing LGBTQ+ people as equal members of the community.
