Here we list national faith, advocacy and education organizations. Thanks to years of community effort, many provinces and local communities now have Pride societies and excellent LGBTQ friendly programs. Please search for or ask about your own community’s resources. And don’t forget that you can contact any Affirming ministry for support: check out the United Church’s national map and search “Affirming ministries” by location.
