but there is a smidgeon of truth to what Regan says. Many ex-gays and the organizations that support them use their message to suggest that gay people don’t deserve equal rights –

One of the flaws in her argument is that she directed it in a hostile way to someone who does not fit her accusations – Dr. Throckmorton. How uncool is that?

Exodus International and the International Healing Foundation must now come out clearly and make a statement condemning this proposal.

Dear Dr Throckmorton- why on Earth would they do such a thing?
I agree that for the most part, people are far better than we give them credit for. It’s all too easy to Demonise people we disagree with.
But there comes a time when you have to face facts. That these particular opponents are not misled, not ignorant, not showing goodwill, and not even “having their hands tied by a few extremists in their organisation”. It’s the people who aren’t hypocrites that are on the fringe, and that provide cover for the rest.
I think you’ll be waiting for a long time. Please draw the requisite conclusions in future dealings. Don’t let the matter drop, don’t give them a pass on this one. Please.
You know, even I hope I’m wrong? I don’t want to believe it myself. I know there are many good people in those organisations who are horrified by this. But the evidence is compelling that they’re not just a minority, but a tiny one. Please tell me in all sincerity that I’m wrong.

It’s time to take the gloves off, we’re in a fight that we must win for our ourselves and those who follow us.
