Here we’ve pulled together some resources for LGBTQ+ people of faith. This list is a work in progress and we would love recommendations of resources to add. Equally, get in touch with our Faith Rep Ims (oufaith02@gmail.com) if you have comments, corrections or concerns. We tried to check that these are properly affirming, but can't with complete confidence vouch for the tone and content of sites with hundreds of articles on. We also have more resources for some religions, as this has been written by Mim and Josie (Faith Reps 2018/19) who know their own faith traditions best, but hopefully this can be evened out with time- get in touch if you have resources you'd like to see added!
