January 2, 2006 (Press Release) --
Justin R. Cannon, founder of TruthSetsFree.net, announced this holiday season the launch of www.GayHarmony.net. The site’s introduction to the web marks it as the Internet’s only devoted gay Christian matchmaking site. Cannon explains, "Most GLBTQ Christians are excluded from joining Christian personals sites, and gay and other personals sites aren’t structured to meet their specific needs. The growing gay Christian demographic deserves a welcoming safe place tailored just for us."
GayHarmony.net emerged out of Cannon’s own recognition of the lack networking presence on the web for meeting other gay Christians. He explains that eHarmony, perhaps the Internet’s most successful matchmaking site, does not provide its services to gays and lesbians. Dr. Neil Clark Warren, founder of eHarmony, says his site caters to heterosexual marriage as that is where he has done extensive research. GayHarmony.net is not just for those looking for a life partner, but provides an opportunity to find friends or even a Bible study partner. Cannon is currently offering users free unlimited-access memberships.
Cannon launched an informational website earlier this year, under his ministry TruthSetsFree.net ( http://www.truthsetsfree.net). The website distributes his recently printed study, "The Bible, Christianity, & Homosexuality," which looks closely at the six Bible 'clobber passages' often used to condemn gays. His study reveals how misinterpretation of these passages has resulted in the marginalization of gays in the Church. Cannon’s efforts have been featured in the prominent gay newsmagazine The Advocate, and an editorial in the LA Times. He has been interviewed on The Michelangelo Signorile Show on SIRIUS Satellite Radio, along with other radio shows, and is a becoming a requested speaker at gay and gay Christian events.
GayHarmony.net is the Internet’s only devoted gay Christians matchmaking site and already boasts nearly 600 active members! One member raves, “GayHarmony.net is awesome! I signed on and found a guy who lives right in my hometown. And the matchmaking service really did help…we have so much in common!”
Justin Cannon, 21 years old, will be graduating this May from Earlham College majoring in French with minors in both Religion and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). Raised in the Episcopal Church, later interest in Catholic, Orthodox, and Quaker theologies have him led towards an ecumenical perspective that recognizes a deep sense of unity among Christians that transcends the walls of denominations. After he graduates, he plans to attend seminary to pursue priesthood in the Episcopal Church.
