Rainbow Singles Dating Site Review

"Rainbow Christians(TM) is the web's premier LGBT Christian personals website. This site emerged from the growing need for a place where gay Christians can meet, as most Christian personals sites do not accommodate LGBT Christians.

In too many places and churches a "gay Christian" is seen as some sort of contradiction, but we believe that there is a place for people of all sexual orientations and gender identities in the Church." - Rainbow Christians website, September 24, 2008.

A free membership with Rainbow Christians allows users to access a lot of the website, but actually contacting members will require a full, paid membership. Which is a good thing, because at least you can do a search to see how many members there are in your area before you shell out (admittedly only a little bit) of cash.

A full membership includes sending and reading email from all members and live audio and video messenger services.

One strange point: the site says you need to register to see user blogs, but once you've registered, the only page you see when you click on blogs is the one reminded you to sign up - again. Obviously a glitch that needs fixing, or removing entirely from the site.

Rainbow Christians is definitely a niche market, and therefore the site caters to users not normally allowed on Christian dating sites in general: gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered folks. To meet the needs of this group of singles, the site has some unusual (but valid) questions at sign up, such as what gender you are looking for (MTF and FTM transgendered options included).

One feature I rarely see on any dating site is the ability to "unregister" your account, a feature prominently displayed to all users with free or paid subscriptions.

A 30 day membership with Rainbow Christians costs $5, 180 days is $25, and a full year's membership is $40 - all in USD. The only method of payment available is PayPal.
