People in the United Kingdom may have assumed that the exgay movement there was effectively crippled when the head of Exodus’ British flagship organization, Jeremy Marks, acknowledged that no one had really changed from gay to straight, and that Christians were being damaged by efforts at so-called “change.”
But former exgay Peterson Toscano suggests that the movement — still alive — may have gone underground, using British evangelical and pentecostal churches and piggybacking on a rising trend of “Christian counseling.”
Toscano quotes British blogger Contemplative Activist, who believes that by working out of sight, the antigay movement can be more poisonous to churches and communities than the visible and public work of Exodus was.
Perhaps Outrage! can weed them out from their hiding place and expose their lies.
If the exgay movement is trully underground in the UK, then they will have a hard time to counter the opposition about their ‘converting’ methods and theology
Aaaahhh… feel the love.
But seriously, the “ex-gay” movement in UK ain’t dead at all. Living Waters and TFT still going strong and I’m busy as always.
Plenty o’ room for love, Peter. Thanks for reminding people that you do exist.
I invite you to provide examples of what you, Living Waters or TFT might have done recently to earn the love of those who understandably distrust you.
For example, have you dispelled sex, gender and political stereotyping; discouraged discrimination; condemned hate crimes; challenged exgays who promise complete “change”; supported efforts to stop the bullying specifically of same-sex-attracted youth; or encouraged inclusion of gay Christians in conservative churches?
