One step forward... Two steps back.

World Net Daily publishes alot of "crap" to support their right wing agenda. For every homosexual person who claims to be cured, there are many others who once said the same thing only to have gone back to homosexuality. Some have even been caught in gay bars! Ex-Gay ministries are bogus and harm people emotionally. It only suppresses feelings which eventually do come back out again. I did some research on this guy and it says the right-wingers are deliberately not mentioning the fact that he was "converted" by the Mormons because most fundamentalist churches believe the Mormons are some type of cult. Interesting, huh? I hope that Glatze will come to his senses before he's damaged permanently.

 

lol... the power of "God," does anyone actually listen to this right-wing bull:***:?

The people thought it was crazy because it is. The guy is a nut job. I'd go as far to say that it's a good thing that he's gone - who needs loonies like him?

 

Oh My Gosh.

That is just ridiculous.
But even though we think its crap, the homophobes are just going to use that for their "cause".
OHHH That just makes me mad!

 

Well, just more proof that anyone ever associated with XY magazine is a total fruitloop.

Oh hey, that was kinda a pun.

I swear to all the gods above and below, if I have to hear any more crap about how monotheistic paternalistic Christian "God" "saved" someone from homosexuality, I will freaking scream!

Statistically, I'm sure Christianity is responsible for far more deaths than homosexuality is.

My favourite part is

Tautology, anyone?

Are you sure normal is normal? Maybe normal isn't exactly normal, but just slightly off of normal--would that be normal, then? Maybe not normally, but most of the time right? That's pretty normal, I'm sure.

Seriously, all I can say is the guy is one seriously stupid fuck!

 

This is also a website that published a study by this guy claiming soy was the cause of homosexuality. OMG...........don't let your babies drink soy formula!

 

*cough* i'm sorry thats a little bit funny

:lol:

 

well i am partial to a soy latte...
omg!!! revelation - IM A FAG!!!!

 

OMG! I'm a vegetarian! All I eat is soy!
Therefore that MUST be the reason I'm gay!
*duhhh* It all seems so obvious now.

Now, off to turn carnivorous and publish my findings on some right-wing bullshit site.

 

oh now i feel like fruitloops...WITH SOY MILK....funnily enough all i would drink when i was younger was soy milk, weird....

 

This is exactly the kind of thing I have to put up with all the time from my family. It makes me so mad... but I can't say anything, which makes me even more angry.

And the soy thing is bogus. I drank soy milk for a while because there was a point for about a year when milk made my stomach upset, but I know a lot of other people who did or do drink soy milk and are as straight as they can be. I've actually read quite a bit of stuff on how good soy is for you. I don't know how anybody could even think that... it's not like soy is a hallucinogen or anything. I have no idea how anyone could think it would possibly affect someone in such a way. It's so ridiculous.

But people will come up with anything to try to make their intolerence seem okay. It's all just a bunch of excuses.

As for the issue of it being "normal," I don't think there's really any standard of "normal" in the world. It's all relative. That's sort of my theism surfacing, though... but everyone has a different opinion on "normal." I just believe it's a term we've come up with to try to comfort and validate ourselves. But you certainly can't say "normal is normal," because that's describing a word with itself, which doesn't work. No one can really, truly, fully define "normal," so that's just a bunch of bologna. It sounds like a third-grader's argument.

 

Wow...I am vegetarian too! This explains so much! If I just stop eating and drinking soy, I will be cured... :roflmao:

I think I will take lifelong persecution over nibbling on leftover animal bits...

 

LOL me too teebee.

 

This kinda stuff scares the living daylights out of me. I have to admit that only a few years ago i would have bought into this kinda :***: and would have beat myself up really bad about being gay. There are people out there looking for answers like I was and the idea of i "homosexual conversion" would make them say "why can't I do that" especially from a source that makes you feel as if they really care about you. That can really :***: up your mind and that's how I was only a few years ago. Honestly when I read it I almost started crying because of the pain that kinda stuff has caused me and still is. My parents are conservative right winged Christians who totally buy into this stuff and hear about it all the time at church. I could never come out to them because they'd just see me as this disturbed screwed up person when in reality im disturbed and screwed up because of the way they and everyone else thinks about homosexuality. They're brianwashrd and that's all there is to it and I once was too but I miracously snapped out of it. It scares me that they're are millions of people out there battling with thier sexuallity and this stuff makes them think that there is a hope for them to change. Then when they're not able too they they think they're not good enough or not worth anythink and maybe even kill themselves. That's why this :***: makes me so emotional because I really feel for those people and it just brings back a lot of bad memories. :tantrum: :bang: :tears: :icon_sad::help:

 

There is a guy who went through this kind of treatment who now does a comedy show about it called "The Homo No Mo Half-way House". His name is Peterson Tuscano and he is absolutely hilarious! He has a website if you want to check it out. He was also part of a video called Fish Can't Fly. Hendrix, if you ever do come out to your parents, that would be a good video to show them. These are people who have gone through these ex-gay ministries and talk about how damaging it is.

 

I would imagine so. Impossible acts don't happen everyday, ya know.

 

People who flaunt their ex-gayness need to go live in a hole somewhere.

It's teaching a younger generation of kids who are oppressed for and struggle with their sexuality that they can achieve something which they, in reality, can not.
It leads to all sorts of nasty mental issues.
Sometimes suicide.
and it's a scary thing to think that our gay youth are being exposed to this type of bullshit.

 

Thats the kind of shit that keeps homophobes going. you can't change your sexuality. I fully believe that you are born that way. he is crazy. he needs to come to his senses. I'm sorry I have to edit this so I can rant! soy? come on are they serious whats next water? When I was younger I used to feel so guilty about being gay and so brainwashed that being gay was wrong that I tried to commit suicide 3 times. this bullshit can't be good for teens to hear. gay teens are already way up there in the number of suicides. some people just piss me off!

 

If I knew that it wouldn't negatively affect so many people...This would almost be funny. "Cured" of being gay?? I thought they decided back in our parent's day that that was God-worthy... Heh...

 

If this is the kind of crap people are putting out in the media, its no wonder that people are really struggling with their sexuality. Sexuality is something you are born with, and you can't change it. I know people who have committed suicide because they just can't cope with all the pressure to be STRAIGHT. It really makes me angry to see this bulldust just put so blatantly out there.
No matter what sexuality we are, we're all equal, beautiful beings.
I wish people would see that.
