Justin R. Cannon

Justin R. Cannon (born 7/9/84) is the founder of TruthSetsFree.net, an affirming outreach ministry to gay and lesbian Christians centered around his booklet The Bible, Christianity, and Homosexuality described by the Los Angeles Times as "an illuminating...analysis that argues the Bible doesn't condemn faithful gay relationships." (Michael McGough, 2005 July 18). He is also the founder of RainbowChristians, the internet’s first gay Christian personals website.

Cannon was featured as a "Future Gay Hero" in the prominent gay newsmagazine The Advocate (2005 July 5) shortly before he was graduated from Earlham College. He subsequently appeared on The Michelangelo Signorile Show on SIRIUS Satellite Radio, and his work has even been well-received internationally as he was cited in the French glbtq magazine Préf ("Ainsi Soient-Ils" January/February #12 Issue).

In 2006 Cannon was recognized as one of Out Magazine’s Top 100 most influential gay people of the year. Each year OUT Magazine, a national gay and lesbian general interest publication, honors one hundred individuals through a feature magazine issue and a special party/reception. Other honorees in 2006 included Rufus Wainwright, Ann Hathaway, Michael Kors Iman, John Cameron Mitchell, and Lance Bass.
