Gamofites was a support organization of Latter-day Saint gay fathers[3] founded in 1991 and operated under Affirmation.
The main function of Gamofites was to support gay Mormon fathers with love and understanding.
[1] In its support for the sexuality of its members, Gamofites dissented from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' official doctrine on homosexuality.
At the time Gamofites was active in the early 2000s, members of the group and others like Reconciliation, Family Fellowship, and Affirmation, faced a choice of celibacy, reparative therapy or excommunication.
[3][6] In addition, the organization published a newsletter, Gamofite News;[1][7] prepared position papers on homosexuality, fatherhood, gay-straight relationships, and Christian teachings for people grappling with these issues; and publicized and promoted Gamofite activities.
