President's Welcome

elcome to the GAMMA (Gay and Married Men’s Association) NSW Inc. Web site. Through the work of GAMMA for over 30 years we have assisted men who have been in heterosexual relationships and who are now questioning their sexual orientation. This work is a mixture of awe inspiring and tear jerking.

Through our twice monthly support meetings, our telephone support line, and other services, we assist each man to work out the process of facing his current circumstances (often still living with his wife or partner) and dealing with all the issues deserving consideration and the people requiring support. We do this by listening, sharing something of our knowledge and promoting safe sexual practises for all concerned.

GAMMA is staffed by trained volunteers who have been through a journey of facing their own sexual preference and its implication in their lives. We continue to offer men support through our group, the phone support line, through e-mail, a sharing of our own experiences, and our newsletters.

Men who can access the inner city can join us for our support meetings on the 1^st and 3^rd Wednesdays of each month. At these meeting we share something of our journeys and have a variety of professional guest speakers who address issues of importance to men in situations such as ours. These topics range through topic such as emotional, relational, financial, and legal.

GAMMA aims to support men in whatever their journey and decisions may be; we seek to do this non-judgementally, while also offering insight from what we have learned through dealing with these issues over the years.

GAMMA NSW Inc. is funded by the NSW Government (South Eastern Sydney Illawarra Area Health Service) as part of their AIDS Prevention and Safe Sex awareness programs.
