I am President of an Association called “David & Jonathan”; which is an association of christian gays men and women (about 600 members).
Our aims are:
- reflexion over our belief that we can fully live at the same time our christian faith and our sexual orientation
- fight the homophobia which is still widely expressed in many churches
- welcome the victims of all kinds of homophobia, especially young people who discover their same sex attraction and convince them that they are not blamed by God but that they can be christian, homosexual ... and even happy.
