Dr T, some might think you are making light of ex-gays. As an ex-gay myself, I see the humor in this. And see the humor in the whole controversy about the term ex-gay. We are just people trying to live out our beliefs, failing sometimes, succeeding more often.

Joe Dallas prefers “a heavenly body with planetary tendencies that would rather not have those tendencies”, but he admits that “ex-planet” rolls of his tongue easier.

Now if only we can get Dr. Nicolosi to explain what he means by, “There is no such thing as a planet”…

I don’t always agree with you but I love that you have a sense of humor.

Ahh, labels. One moment you’re a blob orbiting around and called “planet”. The next moment you’re still a blob orbiting around but now “formerly identified”.

See — Change Is Possible!

(How does one have a hugging session with a planet? More the point, where can one buy a couch large enough???)

Or would that be “post-planet”? Maybe “Formerly Planet Identified”? I don’t know. It’s all so confusing…
