But since this is not always possible, these real-life stories, written by men and women who have experienced the confusion, the pain, the struggles that are common to a sizable minority of our fellow church members, will provide a beginning. Some of these stories were written specifically to help heterosexual persons understand the homosexual experience, and in trying to help them understand life from a homosexual perspective, the authors have focused particularly on those issues in their lives that set them apart. Yet most of these men and women are otherwise indistinguishable from their heterosexual peers. These stories cover a spectrum of experiences and sexual ethics, and we have grouped them according to the philosophies of our email communities . They are presented here to help visitors understand the gay Christian experience and do not imply endorsement of the writers' views.
More stories are being written, so check back now and then.
