Pick A Date

The next National Affirming/PIE Day is Friday, March 14, 2025, and our theme is Sing Out Proud! You can plan something for that day, or any time that week!

Pick Your Ingredients

Get your church or community group together and plan an online gathering, workshop, concert, conversation, movie night, open mic, or anything you imagine! It’s okay to start off with a bite-sized piece!

Tell your own PIE stories: Examples of your *2SLGBTQIA+ welcome that are and have been:

Public, Intentional, and Explicit.

Ideas:

• Host a an online open mic/ coffeehouse for all stories.

• Host a queer-themed film night with discussion after.

• Show one of our PIE Videos and host a discussion afterwards.

• Re-ignite your action groups that work towards inclusion and diversity and make a plan for the coming year!

• Host a workshop with a guest queer-identified speaker on the topics your community is curious about. Come up with some bite sized ideas and note them down for ongoing action.

• Have a “Chew and Chat” event where you each eat pie in your own homes (anything goes - sweet, savoury, pizza, shepherds pie, macaroni pie…) and spend time talking about how LGBTQIA+ and Two Spirit rights and dignity could be advanced in your context and community. 

• Partner with a local community group to host an online event on sexual health, 2SLGBTQIA+ 101, faith and queer intersections, or another tasty topic!
