How did SAFE come about?

chrispic3.jpgchrispic3.jpgchrispic3.jpgSAFE was founded by Chris DiGiorgio. Chris realized that there was an urgent need to let the LGBTQ community know GOD has not abandoned it, and that it falls upon us as LGBTQ folk to reclaim GOD.
 
Chris has been a successful doctor and businessman for the past eighteen years, and has been a long-time activist in the LGBTQ community.  He is also active within his church’s parish, but has also organized external spiritual conferences and services.  Email Chris at chris@gaysafe.org.
