The expression "open and affirming" is one I'd not heard before.  Once, watching
WCAX (Channel 3, Burlington), they were reporting a story on the
Anglican/Episcopal church discussing opening leadership to homosexuals.  The
news piece clearly described those who would be in favor of such as "open and
affirming."  I wrote a letter to the editor asking if they believed that people
who would not favor such a move as closed and unaffirming?  To their credit, I
got a quick response from the ND saying that it slipped by and was improper
reportage.
