In October 2011, the Affirmation LGBT people of Color (POC) and Allies group was started as a group of self-identified people of color and allies gathered to explore multiple identities and the intersections of race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, and LDS faith. Now a closed Facebook group (started in February 2012), the group was created to encourage LDS LGBT POC to begin to find their voice in a world where they are often invisible unless they “speak their truth.” The purpose of this session is to explore the stories and issues encountered by LGBT Mormon POC in their daily lives.
