I have a question: If parents want their children de-gayed, then why do they send them to a camp filled with other homosexuals? When I was a teenager, I would have loved to be sent to an ex-gay camp. It would have given me the chance to find a boyfriend.
Well I'm no expert, but surely these camps would punish any relationships, meaning they would have to be secret, making them even harder. I see your point though, and would be interested to see if anyone has a better answer. Kwyjibo
Parents who want their kids to be de-gayed are morons. Ex-gays don't exist. They're still gay, they just don't have sex.
A friend of mine got sent to an ex-gay camp when he was 16 or 17. Twice. Obviously he was such a big fag that it didn't work the first time... or the second. Fortunately, his parents gave up after the 2nd time. He made a bunch of gay friends there and hooked up at night when all the lights were out. He said it was completely stupid, but he still talks to some of the other poofs he met there
Apparentely they have same-sex dorms as well. So all gay guys are put together, and all lesbians are put together. What a fantastic idea. (; I've heard people say that you go to an ex-gay camp to become straight, but end up leaving with a date. xD
Sounds good to me . Though having said that I've heard some real horror stories about these sorts of places...
I know that at really extreme camps (as I know that most of the ex-gay camps are extreme), they perform gay exorcisms. I know. Bloody crazy bastards.
Meeting places they may be, but if I ever was forced to go to one I would probably claw my hair out from listening to all of the crap that's preached, lose all tolerance for religion and spend the majority of my time preaching the opposite, slapping sence into people getting brainwashed and formulating an escape plan... I would prefer to go to a gay camp to meet people, rather than a "ex"-gay camp... Then again it could be fun in it's own way as long as nobody takes them seriously.
Well the point of them is to essentially brainwash young gay people into finding their natural sexual attraction repulsive, screwing them up, possibly for life. I have no real experiance, but from what I've heard these places are more traumatic than an awesome place to hook up.
Apparently they go about it in a pretty gay way.... according to this article by a straight guy who went to one.
