Online networking for alumni
Hello,
I'm hoping that someone out there can help me with an idea I've been musing on for a little while. I'm an alum of a very conservative evangelical Christian college and was very much in the closet when I was a student. Now that I've graduated and am out, I very much want to be a resource for those at my alma mater who may not have anywhere to turn to, and I'm sure that there are others out there who feel the same way. I'm not sure if anything like this exists, but it seems to me that some kind of networking site that allows lgbt alumni from Christian colleges to find each other, make connections, and talk about what steps can be taken to help current students would be an invaluable tool for what Soulforce is trying to accomplish. I also know that it would be important to figure out how to ensure confidentiality with such a network and since I know nothing about internet privacy I'm not sure how to go about that. If there is anyone out there who has had similar thoughts, could connect me to someone who is already doing this, or can help me in any way, please let me know! Sarah

Update, Sarah and KriLankaLadyLoo, and Brian
I just tried accessing http://www.heartstrong.org/. The site doesn't seem to have been visited since Jan. 2007, and the sign in page doesn't seem to work.
I sent an email of inquiry. I also Googled "gay and Christian", "Christian and gay", "gayChristian", and "Christiangay". I didn't find Soulforce on the first page of Any of these attempts. Perhaps the SoulForce people could try to find us a more visible listing on Google. I got here by following a link from Beliefnet, and I have no idea how anyone else found us.

I went to google and typed in "christian gays lesbians transgender bisexual" and Soulforce came up on the first page. But I doubt that many people would type all that in. Rick

Sarah, it was soulforce that I wanted prominent on Google
I strongly suspect that Heartstrong is inactive. Please read my post at
http://www.soulforce.org/forums/show...7402#post67402 I would appreciate your opinion very much. Peace and Love, Bruce Chris
