The following is a diverse compilation of websites dealing with a variety of topics
related to faith, sexuality, and gender. The sources originate from a variety of perspectives (psychological; medical; media; current news; conservative, moderate, and liberal views; religious/faithful; and many others). This list is provided with the intention of encouraging well-rounded, comprehensive understandings of the complexities of these issues in order to foster thoughtful and intentional personal perspectives. No particular perspective is being endorsed as “right,” but each perspective is acknowledged for its unique contribution to the understanding of the ways in which humans experience faith, sexuality, and gender.
Web addresses listed without accompanying titles are articles or informational pages from broader-based information databases (such as news sites, etc.); parentheses may include a more specific description of the topic or article title.
This list of resources is by no means a comprehensive guide to these subjects. It will continue to increase, become more diverse, and become more comprehensive, as members add to it. To suggest sources, email MCO - Faith, Sexuality Gender (FSG) or write your suggestions in the FSG binder, located in the Chapel. |
