Seventh-day Adventist
Homosexuality Resources

We would like this to be a comprehensive list. If you know of other sites,
 please suggest them here!

Note that we do not necessarily agree with the philosophy of all the ministries below. To find out what we believe, please check our web site. If this does not answer your questions, you may use our form to contact us with specific questions.

Seventh-day Adventist Position Statements on Homosexualit and Related Subjects
We have collected the various official statements of the Seventh-day Adventist church on this page on our site.
AdventCircle Online Community
Our own community for Adventist family and friends of gays and lesbians. This is a sub-list of the larger, inter-denominational GLOWcircle list. The Adventist list is reserved for strictly Adventist concerns, and most of the conversation takes place on the larger GLOWcircle list.
Adventist Leaders Address Homosexuality
We have collected a number of articles, including those in two issues of Ministry, the official Adventist magazine for pastors.
Adventist Gay/Lesbian Ministry of the San Francisco Central Church
We regret to report that this formerly official ministry to gay and lesbian Adventists supervised by a church committee is no longer functioning after administrative changes in the San Francisco Central church. It used to offer customized study questions for the Sabbath School lessons online for gay and lesbian Adventists. We can only hope that another urban church will take up the challenge to provide this sort of support.
GLADventist Online Community
Our own discussion list particularly for homosexually oriented Seventh-day Adventist who believe that sexual activity is to be confined to heterosexual marriage. Stories and thoughts of GLADventist subscribers are found on the GLADventist Index page.
God's Rainbow
Internet outreach formerly sponsored by the Adventist Gay and Lesbian Ministries sponsored by the San Francisco Central church. This site is now independent and  doesn't have much content yet. The webmaster, Howard Holtz, has been in contact with Adventist leadership at all levels, and we hope to see more content soon.
SDAbridges Online Community
A place for those SDA's who are convinced that a monogamous relationship is the best way to reconcile their Adventist faith and their sexuality to inter-act with other members of the Adventist church. The list focuses on spiritual, rather than gender issues. See their stories and thoughts.
SDAKinship International
Most established gay advocacy group using the Seventh-day Adventist name after winning a law suit brought against it by the Seventh-day Adventist church. It teaches that same-gender sexual activity is not condemned anywhere in the Bible and seeks recognition for gay marriages on a par with heterosexual marriages. Has outreach on most SDA college campuses, with gay-friendly professors referring students to the organization.
SDA Womyn Friends
Web site maintained by a SDAKinship supporter as "a service to women who have or have had some connection with Seventh-day Adventists who are gay, either by their own background or that of their partners, friends, or family members." Includes chat room, discussion board and list of resources largely from the SDAKinship perspective, not necessarily Adventist. 
Someone to Talk To
Ministry to Adventist family and friends of lesbians and gays by Carrol Grady, aka Kate McLaughlin, author of My Son, Beloved Stranger. Mrs. Grady has a wide circle of friends within the Adventist gay community and  has been a speaker at two SDAKinship Kamp Meetings as well as at various Adventist church functions. She understands by personal experience the problems facing gay men and women and their families. Archives of her newsletter from 1996 to 1999 are online and searchable through the search box on our site. You can see a statement of Carrol's current position at the end of the Epilogue to her book.
That Kind Can Never Change!
The web site with the same title as the book by Victor J. Adamson (a pseudonym), a Seventh-day Adventist man with a personal ministry. After a lengthy detour into gay life, he is currently happily married to a warm, vibrant and dedicated woman who "waited 32 years" for him to ask her to marry him. He no longer considers himself "gay" and writes from that perspective.
