Even since Minnesota state Rep. Steve Simon's pro-gay religious message went viral, Christianist sites and networks have gone on the attack. Good As You points us to the below CBN News episode which trots out Exodus International's Randy Thomas to denounce Simon. Fast-forward to 9:30 on the clip.
"Children all over the world, including my two children are fans of Toy Story and to see a character like that [Woody] endorsing something that at this point children have no need to know about, it’s disappointing. For organizations like Exodus International, which has thousands of men and women like me who have lived a gay life, it obviously didn’t get better living a gay life for them." - Exodus International's head homo Alan Chambers, denouncing Google for airing an It Gets Better ad during Glee.
To debut at this year's San Francisco LGBT Film Fest.
Wayne Besen at Truth Wins Out:
Alan Chambers denies that his organization participates or endorses reparative therapy. However, when one goes to Exodus Books on Chambers’ website, there are books about reparative therapy prominently listed. In the picture below, one can see two such therapy books sold on the Exodus website. Clearly, Chambers speaks out of both sides of his mouth and dissembles when in front of secular audiences. To say that Chambers is truth challenged is not a matter of opinion. It is an indisputable, well-established fact.Enjoy the pwnage.
As today's Day Of Silence occurs at the nation's schools, the self-hating homosexuals at PFOX are demanding recognition as a sexual orientation other than straight or gay.
"If you're going to worry about sexual orientation non-discrimination and pick a day every year to host it, shouldn't that include all sexual orientations, such as former homosexuals," the PFOX executive director questions. "Where are their rights?" So she is encouraging students to distribute her organization's literature in schools today so that the message of hope will reach a hurting community. "By providing resources and educating [students] about the ex-gay community, we are at the same time giving them options," Griggs notes. "But it is an option, and only they can make the decision." But while she does not think students should be denied any information that allows them to make decisions, she laments that that is "what's happening in America's schools."Even though the members of PFOX were doubtlessly bullied and abused as gay teenagers, they want that same abuse to continue for today's children. What's the word for that?
From Wayne Besen at Truth Wins Out.
Every now and again we highlight “ex-gay” activists who disappear from the scene. One such individual is Mike Ensley, who was laid off from Exodus in 2008. For those who do not remember, Ensley was the group’s “Youth Analyst”, with the insidious role of brainwashing young people. He has now reinvented himself as an Orlando-area photographer named “Philip Michael” with a penchant for homoerotic art house photos — particularly focusing on tanned musclemen.Besen reports that Ensley hung up on him when called to ask about his new business.
The "ex-gays" at PFOX are asking students, parents, and teachers to distribute their brochures during this week's Day Of Silence. Because since the pro-gay kids will be silent, they can't complain.
"We invite schools to distribute our ex-gay brochures year round," said Regina Griggs, PFOX's executive director, "but this Friday is especially important because it is considered a 'day of silence' by homosexual school clubs. This means that members of gay student clubs and their allies will purposely remain silent all day in school to protest intolerance against homosexuals and cross-dressers." "Because homosexual activists try to censor the ex-gay point of view, PFOX asks students to distribute ex-gay literature to their friends in support of equality for the ex-gay community," said Griggs. "The day of silence enables students to distribute ex-gay literature without harassment since opponents are obligated to remain silent that day."
