On an experimental basis, I am opening a Yahoo group to discuss exgay and ex-exgay news, politics and science.
Join the XGW e-mail discussion group at Yahoo here.
Like the exexgayministry discussion at Yahoo, the Ex-Gay Watch discussion is for those who question the effectiveness and safety of some “ex-gay” ministries and therapies.
While the exexgayministry discussions address a variety of exgay-related topics, often from a Christian perspective, the XGW discussion list will focus on exgay current events, science claims, and standards of accountability.
Discussion is encouraged, but please respect others’ views and refrain from:
- strawman argumentation,
- unsubstantiated accusations,
- posting of off-topic or copyrighted material, and
- other violations of commonly accepted online etiquette.
I hope the discussion group will help improve the quality of XGW content, and encourage readers to distribute XGW analyses of exgay politics to people that may be interested.
Strawman argumentation? So this eliminates most of the Focus staff and the AFA.
Dan, correct. People who lace their rhetoric with strawman arguments, partisan politics, and religious intolerance may be kicked off the list with little or no warning. The list is for brainstorming, factual resource-sharing, ex-exgay reflections, and the development of tough accountability standards for the exgay movement. I receive about 200 messages per day already — I have no patience for trolls. 🙂
Norm, please let me know whether my revisions to this page are satisfactory.
Thanks you the clarification, Mike. “from a Christian perspective” is more accurate.
We’re discussing re-stating the introduction statement to be more open.
