LGBT-affirming denominations in Judaism
Introduction '''Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) affirming denominations in Judaism''' (also called '''gay-affirming''') are Jewish religious groups that welcome LGBT 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-LGBT members and also have specific programs to welcome LGBT people, while others are composed mainly of LGBT members.
