NOTICE:

This Is A Gay Friendly Website -

Homophobia or prejudice of any kind is not appreciated or accepted.

This is a notice to anyone who may have found my web pages, and who happens to have strong feelings against homosexuals, or strong beliefs against the support of homosexual rights. It is also a statement to anyone who is confused about their own sexual orientation, and what the purpose of this web-site is concerning you personally. If the issue of homosexuality is offensive to you for any reason, then I suggest that you not view any sections of my web-site which clearly states that it is gay, GLBT or homosexual by topic. There are no pictures of a sexual nature of any kind on my web-pages, and you will not find anything that promotes sexual activities of any kind, whether they be gay or straight. This web-site is created for support and information for the rights and freedoms of all, including those of homosexual individuals. If you personally have strong feelings or believes against homosexuality, whether from religious, moral, or any other beliefs, and choose to remain on my web-site, then I request that you be respectful towards me, towards those whom I directly link to, or who link to my site, and towards anyone who may choose to use it. I have personally read the Christian Bible, many different times, and from many different sources. I have read many books, articles and web-sites dealing with the issues of Christianity and homosexuality, from many different people, and from all different viewpoints. I do not want, nor need, messages left in my guest book or email inbox, telling me of the sins and evils of living a homosexual lifestyle. If you have read my site, and the resource links on it concerning "Gay Christians", gay life styles, and the scientific factors of homosexuality, and honestly wish to "discuss" certain issues respectfully, logically, and rationally, then I welcome your input. However, if your intentions are simply to shock, flame, bash, convert or condemn me in some way, I can promise you that you are wasting your time. I receive anywhere from 20 to 50 emails per day, and there isn't much you could say that I haven't already heard over the years that I have been on the internet, which is almost as long as I have been out about being gay. Furthermore, neither this web-site, nor I personally, promote homosexuality as an alternative sexual orientation for anyone. It is the personal belief by me, Garith, that homosexuality is neither a disease nor a mental illness, and that true sexual orientation can't be personally chosen, or pushed upon someone by another person. Anyone can choose to do some sexual activity with another person, but that won't make them gay or straight. If you disagree with my beliefs, you are more than welcome to your opinions, and I won't try to shame you into believing anything else. It is not suggested or implied that anyone should choose to try to adopt homosexuality as an alternative sexual orientation for any reason at any time. My personal advice to anyone who is confused about or questioning their own personal sexual make up is to seriously research all sides to the issues of sexuality, especially homosexuality, before you make a final decision about you and who you are. It is further stated by me, Garith, that it can often be confusing as a kid growing up as to what all their feelings mean. All kids go through a learning process when dealing with sex, and that having curious feelings about sex towards someone of the same gender doesn't meant that you are gay, no more than having curious feelings about sex with the opposite gender means that you are heterosexual. Take what ever time you need to figure out your own sexuality, and try to remember to be respectful towards yourself and others at all times along the way. By all means, if you aren't completely sure about your own sexuality, don't simply decide that you want to be gay because it seems cool or different, or because you want attention. Trust me, it's not worth it. Just as I do not promote or try to encourage homosexuality towards or for anyone, I also do not accept any shame, blame or negative values for anyone who truly is homosexual by natural orientation.... including myself. I am not a professional doctor or counselor, and my intentions are not to change anyone's ideas about themselves or others. The only purpose for this site it to be a resource of knowledge and support for anyone searching for help with answers. Much of my web-site is about other things besides homosexuality, such as inspirational writings by me and some writings by other people, some of my personal interests, which have nothing to do with sexual orientations, or our resource links that can be found in SURF CITY, which are a collection of URLs going out to just about any subject imaginable on the web. All I ask is that you use my web-site while being polite, considerate, and respectful of others, including me, Garith. Thank you.... and I hope you enjoy your visit. Created ~ (Jan 2003)
