What is GCN
GCN (the Gay Christian Network) no longer exists. This was its purpose:
They were: "Founded in 2001, the Gay Christian Network (GCN) is a nonprofit Christian ministry dedicated to building bridges and offering support for those caught in the crossfire of one of today’s most divisive culture wars.
Our membership includes both those on Side A (supporting same-sex marriage and relationships) and on Side B (promoting celibacy for Christians with same-sex attractions). What began as an organization to provide support to LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) Christians has grown into a worldwide movement for compassion with many straight members as well.
GCN helps create safe spaces both online and offline for Christians of all sorts to make friends, ask questions, get support, and offer support to others.
Through conferences, speaking events, videos, message boards, and more, we’re transforming the conversation in the church and working to “share Christ’s light and love for all.”"
Note … the links below no longer work
You can find out more about GCN by checking their FAQ page here. You will note in the FAQ's that they provide support for both Side A and Side B beliefs. Their description of these two viewpoints can be found here. For further information see their mission statement here.
Note: I was one of the moderators on the GCN forum ..my screen name was p_dave. You can find me on the new forum (see below) though I am not as active.
A different organization exists today … it is called QCF. Some have found this to be a helpful place. They do have a forum and they do welcome discussion and people who are searching for answers in their gender / orientation journey.
