We already know that 99.9% don’t lose their “SSA” entirely. Exodus has all along said “No, they continue to struggle”. But that’s not a change in Exodus’ message. It’s what they have been saying for decades. We’re asking about actual sexual orientation change from homosexual to heterosexual. How often does that happen?

Less “SSA” is not heterosexuality. Not acting on “SSA” is not heterosexuality. Celibacy is not heterosexuality. Having attractions to both sexes (as Alan Chambers and Randy Thomas admit they have) is not heterosexuality.

Why won’t Alan and Exodus give a straight answer to the real question: “What percentage of Exodus clients become heterosexual — no longer homosexual — in their primary attractions?”

While Exodus’s rhetoric has been hazy at best over the past few years, there’s no question that it has now made a very clear and public break with the idea of sexual orientation change efforts, or SOCE. None of Exodus’s member ministries, says Alan Chambers, will be allowed to practice reparative therapy. Exodus “isn’t in the SOCE business,” he clarified in an email to XGW.” ~ Dave Rattigan, Ex-gay Watch

I believe that homosexuality is a sin in practice, not in orientation b/c I believe that God had a purpose when He created man, woman, and the union of marriage. I can understand the where the zeal of conservative Christians who “go all OCD” on gay rights issues come from, I really do.

However, the harm that comes from the homosexual sin in practice is too subtle for the secular world to see. Even with my conservative belief, I fail to see the IMMEDIATE negative consequences of a committed, monogamous lesbian/gay relationship.

I’m sure that the vast majority of non-Christians (humanists/atheists/agnostics/other religions) can agree that offenses like murder, theft/robbery, racism, human trafficking, rape, child abuse, fraud/deception, etc are wrong because in these cases it is IMMEDIATELY VERY VERY ULTRA CLEAR that somebody else is gonna get hurt. However, indulged homosexual thoughts, desires, and behaviours….not very clear from the get go. It’s one of those sins where you just have to be religious in order for you to see it as a sin, there’s no other way, really. Outside of the religious system, it’s very difficult to build an argument against gay marriage, sorry.

So, I mean, the secular world’s staunch support of gay marriage/homosexuality is not very surprising at all.

Given the title and the topic, I imagine Alan was talking about marriage laws that excluded gays from marrying.
