"God loved the world so much, that Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, was freely given, that WHOSOEVER believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." ~ John 3:16
As society is learning to accept gays based on basic human rights, this website supports homosexuality as an orientation based on Scripture alone.
It is our belief that the Original Scriptures, when understood in the correct context and culture of their time, make no mention of homosexuality. References to same-sex acts were with regard to rape, domination, idol worship, purity laws for the priests, etc. We condemn these acts as well, but recognize that they do not relate in any way to a loving, monogamous relationship between two people of the same sex.
Gays suffer much rejection. Gay Christians suffer especially so, wanting so much to be a part of the church they love, and yet being rejected just for who they are. Jesus always reached out to those who were rejected. Jesus reaches out to we gays today to tell us that we are loved, just as we were created.
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart." ~ Jer. 1:5a
"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart." ~ Jer.29:11-13
If you are wondering how it is possible to be both gay and Christian,
it will take much reading and prayer on your part to understand the errors of contemporary teaching of Christianity and homosexuality, but God says:
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God," ~ Philippians 4:6 (NIV)
The answers are there for you to find. Do not shy away from the Bible. It is the Good News for ALL, but the "clobber verses" used against us have been grossly misinterpreted.
Read about each Scripture verse that seems to condemn us, but understood in a new light, really doesn't.
Search the Homosexuality & The Bible links. Learn the TRUTH of God's Holy inerrant Word and allow your mind to grasp the Truth of the Original Scriptures, not the Translations.
Read the Think We're Wrong? pages. There is more information in Tidbits, Comfort, News, etc. There are hundreds of Articles on this website that will help you understand. It is all Good News for Gays!

Comments From Our Christian Gays "Family"
Balance
Thanks so much for sending the DVD so promptly. We are used to waiting a few weeks for packages from America, so no probs there! :)
It is also time for me to say thank you for the ministry you have, as my partner and I have gotten so much from your website and emails. It is so encouraging that your group does show acceptance to ALL people and at the same time you do not compromise the gospel. A ministry that gets that balance right is so hard to find. ~ Alex in Australia
I was welcomed, loved, supported and understood
It was just last week that I found myself back in a familiar hole. Having split with my partner of 3 years I was at a really low point in my life. Cravings for alcohol had returned, my partner had left me, and I couldn't see any point in going on. I turned to the internet for inspiration on how to end my life. As I was scrolling through the search results I came across this site and was curious. I had convinced myself that I had been wrong all this time, I couldn't be a Christian if I was Gay, so a website specifically for Gay Christians? It couldn't be. I had to check it out!! So I did, but I didn't find the judgement that I was used to receiving from "Christians". I was welcomed, loved, supported and understood.
I thank God for this website and the fellowship I have found here. I honestly believe that God has used this site to save my life.
I still have a way to go, but I'm here. With the help of members from this site I now have fellowship, trans-atlantic Bible Study, global prayer, and I'm looking for a Gay-friendly church in my area. I have placed myself at the feet of our Merciful Father, and He has welcomed this prodical daughter back with open arms!
PRAISE GOD FOR HIS MERCY AND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!
Thank you Lord for leading me to this site. Thank you for the people I have met here, and the friendship and support they have offered and given. You know who they are Lord and so do they. Pour out your blessings on them Father as you have blessed me through them, and draw them even closer to you. In Jesus name, Amen.
A New Family Is Created
Hello Momma Mary,
I don't know if you remember me, but I was a part of Christian Gays about five years ago when I lived in Kitchener. Once upon a time in your chat room, I met Scott and Kelly. Scott and I have since adopted each other as brother and sister, and Kelly, well, she and I have been together for the last five years, got married last year, and had a baby this past May along with her two other children.
We thank you for your vision of Christian Gays for bringing us together and we have never been happier. So thank you in your part in bringing this family together.
God bless and much love to you,
B.C.R.
Note from Mary: People often come and go on Christian Gays as their lives change, but you can believe that if we ever connected for a period of time, you will always be in my heart. You are part of my "family". B.C.R. played a very special part in getting our chat rooms going, and I will always be grateful to her for that. Praise God for the connections made through the website!
I Found My Soul Mate
I found your websight one night, while racking my brain, thinking of
the perfect match. I said to myself, "Self. You have to find
yourself a Christian gay man that cannot only identify with these two
unchangable aspects of our lives, but celibrate it as well!"
Though I didn't find Ryan on ChristianGays.com, I was strengthened by Mary and
all the other wonderful Christians, looking for love.
In my profile I stated first and foremost that I was Christian and
then gay, just like the website says ChristianGays.com. I believe in
the Bible. Truths really, not just stories, of redemption,
perseverance and love. All things which can be translated into the
fight for the gay rights movement.
As Ryan and I were getting to know each other, we went over our list
of what we expected and wanted in a relationship. I said something
that has resonated throughout our relationship. I said, "Why would I
want to spend my entire life dedicated to someone that I wouldn't
spend the rest of eternity with?"
With God's grace, I have found my soulmate. So to Mary, and all the
gay and lesbian people on ChristianGays.com I have one thing to say.
He believes in you. He has great things in store for you, if you only
give him control. God's grace is for all people. God's love is for
all people. Gay, straight, bisexual, transgendered. Have faith in God,
and he will find you your "Christian Gay" soulmate too.

A Prayer by Gail ("Aussiebard")
God, bless this group with love and peace
May joy and laughter never cease
to lift us when we meet.
If, at times, there's passing tears
Let there be friends and comfort here
for the soul that longs to weep.
Give us faith and courage to share
Give us time for earnest thought and prayer
Give us the love for which we seek.
May those who enter find life a bit brighter
May burdens be lifted, may hearts seem lighter
May our trust and compassion grow deep.
A Prayer by Mandy Deacon ("leapinglizard")
Father, bless this place and all who meet here.
May we know Your love and acceptance.
May our spirits be lifted as we meet in fellowship.
May Your presence be felt here by all who enter,
And may those who stumble in "by accident"
Come to know Your love and forgiveness.
Soften the hearts of those who would condemn.
Speak to their spirits so that they may know
That we are Your children too!
Spirit-born, blood-bought, children of the King!
Gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgendered by birth,
Accepted, loved, forgiven and YOURS by Grace.
Amen
