LES BE REAL » Resources http://www.lesbereal.com * South African * Christian * Gay * Fri, 27 Aug 2010 21:55:54 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 More Links http://www.lesbereal.com/2009/10/24/more-links/ http://www.lesbereal.com/2009/10/24/more-links/#comments Sat, 24 Oct 2009 11:16:54 +0000 LesBeReal http://www.lesbereal.com/?p=107 I’ve added a new Local link category in addition to the Gay Christian link category. Here you will find links I add to South African blogs and resources. The first being Cape Town Lesbians (CTL).

Also, I have added a link to the Good Hope Metropolitan Community Church for those who would like to attend an accepting / inclusive church. I have not (yet) visited this church, so I cannot give any personal opinion on it.

Lastly, Melanie Lowe is someone I have always thought was “like me”! :) She’s awesome, and I have a lot of respect for her. I was very sad to miss her recent Living the Truth tour! :(

Enjoy, and please don’t forget, if you’re browsing around this site and have something to say, I would love to hear from you!

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! :)
