Gay Christian Links and Resources

By · October 23, 2009

I’ve added a few links to the right column so far. More will be added over time.

I wanted to say though, that this blog is not about me trying to convince anyone of “truth”. I believe we are each responsible before God for our own lives. I do believe people should research and study and discover ALL points of view on subjects before finding their peace with what they believe. It may be that some of the links provided here are very much one-sided in their beliefs, but I will try to provide balance.

Some specifics to look at:

  • Gay Christian Network (GCN): This is probably the biggest and most well known Gay Christian organisation. I’d like to highlight their “Great Debate” resource for those who are searching. Justin (Side A) believes God blesses gay marriage, while Ron (Side B) believes Gay Christians are called to celibacy.
  • Soulforce.org: This site has some good resources on interpreting the Bible, as well as other Psychological and Medical points of view on homosexuality.
  • Les Be Pure: I discovered this site which happens to have a similar naming convention to mine (clever peeps 🙂 ). This is interesting, as Kori Ashton was part of an “ex-gay” movement for years, but is now happily engaged to her partner Rebecca.
  • I am a Gay Christian: This site looks to have a lot of good resources. I think it’s still fairly new.

Lastly, I wanted to let you know about an excellent sermon from Gateway Church in Texas.

I hope you find some of these resources useful. As mentioned above, I am not trying to push any belief, but rather encourage research and thought and discussion. 🙂

Les Be Real! 🙂

Myth 1: I woke up one day and decided to be gay!

By ·

It’s actually hard to believe how clueless some people still are! Even now, in the 21st century, some people seem to think gay people woke up one day and made a choice. I mean, yeah, what a great idea! I want to be constantly ridiculed, judged, condemned, kicked out, rejected by family, and discriminated against, YES! What a great idea. Not to mention shrinking the pool of fish in the sea by an order of magnitude! Surely my chances of finding a soul mate would be better if I fish in my own pond! Les Be Real people.. ask any gay person.. they would not choose to be gay.. it’s a MUCH harder life to live.. do yourself a favour, and just think about it without all your ridiculous pre-conceived ideas.. and imagine if you were gay. In fact, scratch that.. if you are as straight as you may profess to be.. what on this earth would ever make you decide to change your mind and be gay?!

It’s Begun!

By · October 22, 2009

Ok, so there’s no more messing around – this site needs to make it’s mark now. There is no point in me publishing a site simply for myself. So here it is. Part 1 of “My Story” has been made public again. I have added some social media plugins, so let’s see what happens. I have a bunch of web sites I intend to mention or make permanent links to in future. I am phasing my rollouts a little, so stay tuned.. you are bound to find something useful here! So please… Les Be Real and enjoy! 😉

A Bit Torn…

By · October 11, 2009

So my current dilemma is in how personal / detailed I make “My Story“. Let me explain…

The reason I started this blog, is because I feel there are not enough people being real out there when it comes to being both Christian and gay, and saying it like it is.. all the struggles, all the pain, and all the joys too! That said, I am also very weary of splurting out things all over the web for anyone to read that are personal, and also involve other people. So, I am currently trying to find the balance between creating something REAL.. something people can relate to.. but also being wise in my openness, so as not to hurt or offend others. I realise this is par for the course when you’re in my situation, but I do try to respect everyone, regardless.

I have made part 1 of “My Story” private again until I come to some resolution on this. It is also why I have not yet officially started pushing this site out there, as I need to know what I am putting out there first. So, if you happen to have found this site, and have a helpful opinion, please let me know, either by leaving a comment, or privately via the Contact page.

My Story and Contact added

Right, so I’ve had a rather busy week, and not been able to accomplish much on here yet, but for now, please see the following…

I started typing up My Story, and realised it was going to be quite long for 1 page, so I have decided to make is a series. I will update the parts as soon as possible.

I have also added the Contact page, so please feel free to send me a mail.

I will be adding links soon, as well as a page on “The Myths”…
