About

freedom 2 b[e] is a global network of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) people from Pentecostal, Charismatic and Evangelical backgrounds.

freedom 2 b[e] is a non-judgmental, no agenda, safe place that assists people on their journey to reconciliation of their faith and/or their sexuality.

Traditionally Pentecostal, Charismatic and Evangelical groups have been ill-informed about sexual orientation and maintained outdated beliefs about homosexuality. This lack of knowledge has caused much unnecessary suffering not only to LGBT people, but also their family and friends. Anti-gay positions have not reflected the example of Jesus Christ or how the Christian church should respond. Instead of churches demonstrating love and acceptance, LGBT people have mostly experienced condemnation, judgment and rejection.

The term "gay Christian" is relatively new but there are now many thousands of individuals, church leaders and entire congregations who have come to a more enlightened understanding of sexuality. Scientific research and a deeper look at the scriptures has helped people realise same-sex-orientation is not a sickness to be healed or a sin to be forgiven. Many have resolved the issue of their sexual orientation and maintained their Christian faith. Others have resolved their sexuality but still have issues of faith to sort out. freedom 2 b[e] welcomes all.

Whether you have left the church or are still there, freedom 2 b[e] is your place to connect, gain information, find support and dialogue with people who understand your journey.

freedom 2 b[e] is not a Christian organisation as such, but a network of people from similar backgrounds.
