Website Background and Overview...
ay Christian Online was one of the first, is one of the oldest (over twenty-five years), and is still one of the largest wesbites on the Internet providing information, articles, referrals, and personal assistance and support for gay and lesbian Christians, and for gays and lesbians in general.
ou may e-mail me, if you wish. I will give you the courtesy of a reply. But, please understand I will not debate, nor discuss the validity of being gay and lesbian. It is a waste of time to tell me you think being gay is wrong, I am going to Hell, nor do you need to cut and paste dozens of Scripture verses in your e-mail. Be courteous and give your name, background, and location, so I may know with whom I am conversing.
f you are struggling with your spirituality, sexuality, or life in general, or you sincerely desire to understand, or assist some who is, then... "Welcome Home." It is my sincere prayer you find Love, Hope, Information, Assistance, Support, Wisdom, and Peace through this website.
he pictures, artwork, and background music reflect my personal hobbies and interests, my love of antiques, Classical art and music, all things Walt Disney, especially the movie Pinocchio (memorabilia which I collect), support or bring emphasis to the topic of the article or page, and give the reader visual and listening interest while reading.
