“The opposite of homosexuality is not heterosexuality. It is holiness.” ~ Jeff Buchanan (quoted by Michael Bussee above)

Ah, so homosexuality is evil itself. And I thought they were trying not to shame us.

A “continuum” of change for a continuum of human sexuality, how charitable of them. And what is the ultimate goal of this,but to make a gay man into straight marriage material. These mixed orientation marriages are terrible and how can a woman settle for a man who doesn’t love her romantically? Churches rely on Narths methods so that they can play matchmaker with the wrong 2 people.

@ Anthony

Very much my reaction … ‘psycho-babble mumbo jumbo’ indeed.

Abandon ship. The “Reorientation Boat” is taking on water and sinking fast. Exodus admits that 99.9 % don’t change their sexual orientation and NARTH is downplaying its claims of change due to lack of funds. Maybe it’s time for the captain at Exodus to steer the boat in the direction Jeff Buchanan of Exodus laid out last year:

“In no way shape or form is our message about trying to cure or do we try to promote that type of methodology or message… Exodus believes the opposite of homosexuality is not heterosexuality. It is holiness. We promote the belief that one can live a life that is congruent with their faith. That is our mission – period.” ~ Jeff Buchanan, Christian Post, 3/22/11

@GayGrandfather: “It’s not homosexuality that is unwanted. Rather, it’s the rejection by our family, friends and community that is unwanted.”

Well said. For some of us, add to this list our church. And the rejection of our church has too easily translated to the rejection of God.
