I can’t tell you how many stories I’ve read of so-called ex-gay people who truly believed their same-sex feelings had been cured by God or therapy, only to find themselves in bed with someone of the same sex years down the road. Ex-gay is such a misnomer!!!!

Robert Knight countered with the “85” at the HRC. Some of these, I presume are accountants.

Knight neglected to mention the other 135 people (or whatever it is now) running Exodus Ministries.

Plus those at Focus on the Family. Plus, say, Warren Throckmorton at Grove City (admit, part time). Plus NARTH. Plus himself, a concerned man, working for CWFA.

Etc. Etc.

– Bob Knight’s laudatory description of ex-gay groups, in his CWA online audio commentary on TWO.

But Wayne is to be administered your sarcastic and rather un-Christian put downs for having a similar small team.

I get it: social conservatives believe it’s ok to annoint yourself teacher and run a school in your house, but it’s something to ridicule if a non-profit’s beginnings are similarly humble.

I support what Wayne is doing fully. As a Christian, I support him. As someone who tried to pray until the gay went away, and it didn’t, I support Wayne. As someone who woke up one day and realized I should stop chasing a man-made version of what God wanted, and instead realized that God wanted me as he created me, I support Wayne.

Have you never heard the Three Dog Night tune – One?

Actually, that would have been a clever intent, if only I had it.
