Fat is Beautiful Inc. announces the launch of www.FatIsBeautiful.com, a supportive, accepting community where big people can share their pictures and voice their thoughts openly without worrying about prejudice or misunderstanding. With the increasing popularity of social networking and online photo and video sharing sites such as MySpace, hi5, and YouTube, people are encouraged to reveal their true selves and build online relationships based on common interests.

Unfortunately, for obese people who may already feel isolated, many online communities do not protect them from the same harsh judgment and rejection they face in real life. Fatisbeautiful.com allows its members to create and manage their own content, giving them a sense of control and freedom.

“I wanted to create a space where we can post our videos with dignity. Overweight people deserve to feel good about themselves, and should be able to enjoy sharing their pictures and thoughts with other people who respect them and think they are beautiful.” Says founder Sidney Bitton.

Users can join fatisbeautiful.com with a Silver membership for free as an introductory special. Members can post entries, photos and videos, and control which friends can access their posted content. A chat room provides a space for live discussions, and personal ads with targeted searches help soul mates find each other.
