Justin Lee (born September 7, 1977) is the founder of the Gay Christian Network (GCN), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides resources and support to gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Christians. According to the GCN website, “We also work with churches and other Christian organizations to help educate the Christian community about sexual orientation issues from a Biblical standpoint.” In August 2001, Lee founded GCN to “build a supportive community to support fellow gay Christians in their Christian walks.”[1] In an interview for CNN, Lee explained the purpose of the organization:
“We’re just trying to get people together who experience attraction to the same sex, however they have handled that, and who love Jesus and say, OK, you are welcome here, and then let’s pray together and figure out where God wants us to take it.”[2]
Lee is recognizable for his baldness and noticeable lack of eyebrows due to alopecia areata, a condition he has had since childhood.[3]
He is also the director of a 2009 documentary, Through My Eyes, which explores the struggles of young gay Christians,[4] and the author of the 2012 book Torn: Rescuing the Gospel from the Gays-vs.-Christians Debate, published by Hachette Book Group.[5]
