LOL. On your behalf, I visited the PFOX website and can’t find all of this ‘Anti’ rhetoric that supposedly dominates the site. It’s not on their home page.

I followed the ‘Equal Rights’ link and found 26 topics with 0 speaking against gay rights. Predominantly, they were consistent with PFOX’ stated goal of defending the right of the ex-gay message to exist and demanding equal time.

I followed the ‘Articles’ link and found 21 articles…2 of them were related to the gay marriage issue. If someone could point out which of the others were ‘anti-gay’ and why, I’d appreciate it.

I followed the ‘News’ link and found nothing for 2010. Again, if someone could point which were ‘anti-gay’ and why, I’d be ever so grateful.

I also followed the ‘Brochures’ link and again came up with zip.

In short, there were only 2 anti-gay family postings that I found. And, as we’ve often said on this site, the term ‘anti-gay’ tends to be both inflammatory and generalized. (LOL. I was actually a bit surprised by these results…based on all the criticisms I’ve heard, I honestly thought there would be a bit more substance to be found on their site.)

It appears that the bulk of their articles and comments are in defense of ex-gay rights and aren’t focussed on taking away the rights of anyone–with the notable exception of gay marriage which had the two postings.

All things considered, there is an imbalance of inclusiveness and acceptance and tolerance and it is not coming from those who people call exgay.

I think this is wrong Ann. As far as I know PFOX is not accepting of gay families and gay people, and if I remember right, they don’t believe gay people deserve the same rights, ie gay marriage, as other people. They definitely can’t be called inclusive.

But they are not inclusive, that is the point. In my experience, they portray themselves as something they are not. They want to appear inclusive and secular but they are a far right Christian group who has one answer to homosexuality – repair it. – Not even live with it, view it as a cross or bear or some other congruence view. I was involved with PFOX from 2003-2006, I regret to say and I heard in public we are not religious but know the back story.

I have not looked at the PFOX web site or blog in a long time (years) so I am not sure what there current position is, however, I do not think the above description is fair or completely accurate. To be sure, it can be said that the gay advocates generally have only one answer for homosexuality – accept it and come out and live as a gay man/woman. Also, one would be hard pressed to find inclusiveness for those who have chosen to respond to their homosexuality in a different way. All things considered, there is an imbalance of inclusiveness and acceptance and tolerance and it is not coming from those who people call exgay.

from a Mayor that has been nothing short of supportive of gay families and gay people – LOL – did Regina not think to question this at all?

I do not know Regina, however, why would she question the mayor at all? Is there a reason why he wouldn’t be supportive of gay families and gay people as you call them (I would rather say people and families), as well as individuals like the man in the video who is now married to a woman? Why wouldn’t the mayor be supportive of both? To be otherwise is discriminatory, isn’t it?
