Hi Everyone,


For those of you who don't know who I am and so that this post makes sense, I am Dr Stuart Edser the author of Being Gay Being Christian published by Exisle Publishing. Since my book came out in January 2012, it has been widely and well received and I have been given the chance to speak to many people throughout Australia via the media. I am a gay man, a Christian of long standing in the church and a Psychologist. I am in Private Practice in Newcastle Australia and am a specialist Counselling Psychologist. I see many people in my Rooms from week to week including lots of gay people: some who are confused about their sexuality, many gay men who have married, gay people in relationship difficulties and I see gay people with mental health problems. It is an absolute privilege to work with people and I love being able to help others at their point of need. From time to time spiritual issues arise and we are able to work through these carefully and considerately.


My book Being Gay Being Christian has it own website which you can visit any time:

http://www.beinggaybeingchristian.com. On that website I also run the BGBC Blog where I write about issues of faith and sexuality. The great people at Freedom2b have been reading my blog posts as I have shared them on the Freedom2b Facebook page, but recently it was suggested to me that I might like to put some of the links here on the Forum's page. And I am very happy to share them with you here.


Over the last few weeks, I wrote a three part series called Being Gay – Such A Disappointment in which I have examined the idea that being gay is often thought of as a second-rate way to live next to heterosexuality. Below, I am placing the links to that series and if you feel so inclined, you can click over and have a read. If you do, I hope you enjoy them and you can leave a comment there if you like. Best wishes to all and if you've read my book, I do hope that it has helped – because that is the only reason I wrote it. Cheers everyone – Stuart

Hi Stuart

I've heard lots of good things about your book from quite a few of our people here. Congratulations!

I'd love it if you could share some more of your journey with us (i.e when you first realised you were gay, coming out experiences, faith journey etc) in the Telling Our Stories section.

Keep up the good work!

Blessings,

Ann Maree
