LGBTQ-affirming denominations in Judaism

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) affirming denominations in Judaism (also called gay-affirming) are Jewish religious groups that welcome LGBTQ members and do not consider homosexuality to be a sin. They include both entire Jewish denominations, as well as individual synagogues. Some are composed mainly of non-LGBTQ members and also have specific programs to welcome LGBTQ people, while others are composed mainly of LGBTQ members.
