Episcopal Seminarian Launches Internet's Only Devoted Gay Christian Matchmaking Site

Posted on: Wednesday, 13 September 2006, 21:00 CDT

Justin R. Cannon, 22-year-old founder of TruthSetsFree.net, recently announced the launch of Gayharmony.net. The site's introduction to the web marked it as the Internet's only devoted gay Christian matchmaking site. Cannon explains, "Most GLBTQ Christians are excluded from joining Christian personals sites, and gay and other personals sites aren't structured to meet their specific needs. The growing gay Christian demographic deserves a welcoming safe place tailored just for us."

Gayharmony.net emerged out of Cannon's own recognition of the lack of networking presence on the web for meeting other gay Christians. Gayharmony.net is not just for those looking for a life partner, but provides an opportunity to find friends or even a Bible study partner.

Cannon launched an informational website earlier last year, under his ministry TruthSetsFree.net (http://www.truthsetsfree.net). His ministry website distributes his recently printed study, "The Bible, Christianity, & Homosexuality," which looks closely at the six Bible "clobber passages" often used to condemn gays. His study reveals how misinterpretation of these passages has resulted in the marginalization of gays in the Church. Cannon's efforts have been featured in the prominent gay newsmagazine The Advocate and he has been interviewed on The Michelangelo Signorile Show on SIRIUS Satellite Radio, along with other radio shows, and is a becoming a requested speaker at gay and gay Christian events.

Gayharmony.net is the Internet's only devoted gay Christians matchmaking site and already boasts almost 1700 members from more than 50 different countries and is growing daily! One member raves, "Gayharmony.net is awesome! I signed on and found a guy who lives right in my hometown. And the matchmaking service really did help... we have so much in common!"

Justin Cannon, 22 years old, graduated May 2006 from Earlham College majoring in French & Francophone Studies with minors in both Religion and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). Raised in the Episcopal Church, later interest in Catholic, Orthodox, and Quaker theologies has led him towards an ecumenical perspective that recognizes a deep sense of unity among Christians that transcends the walls of denominations. He is currently attending seminary at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley, California (USA) as he pursues priesthood within the Episcopal Church.
