Many LGBT people seek special support resources to help provide the sustenance that is often lacking in mainstream organizations. To help meet those special needs, this site was established as a collection point for resources that support the LGBT community. Whatever your situation; whatever your need - help is available!
These resources are primarily intended to help and support people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or questioning and their friends and family. Also included are resources to help the general public to understand and deal effectively with the issues faced by us.

 Cross-Dressing & the Bible This material is designed for a discussion with religious leaders and other spiritually-oriented persons who object to cross-dressers on Biblical grounds. It requires a willingness on their part to objectively consider the Scriptural issues. It provides discussion points to ask and answer two basic questions: 1) Does Deuteronomy 22:5 declare that cross-dressing is intrinsically wrong? 2) Does it automatically condemn any form of cross-dressing as a sin requiring repentance in order to be accepted into the Christian church and to be accepted by God? |
