An article in the Philadephia Gay News profiles an ex-ex-gay couple, Stephen Parelli and Jose Ortiz, that will be speaking to a Baptist group this weekend. The couple met at an ex-gay group in New York in 1997. Parelli was in counseling with Joseph Nicolosi of NARTH.
In addition to comments by Wayne Besen, Peterson Toscano, and Randy Thomas the author also quotes “Daniel Gonzales, a former ‘ex-gay’ and contributor of ExGayWatch.com”
Thanks, Daniel, for your representation. Great job.
(A special “thank you” to NARTH, Calvary Baptist Church, and the ex-gay movement in general for causing these men to meet and create another happy gay couple)
UPDATE: Stephen has let us know that we can read how he and Jose met and their current ministry work at https://www.othersheepexecsite.com

oh, duh!!! I forgot a link!!!
Sorry Dan – It’s there now
I just posted about the article, as well, asking “What is Real About Exodus, Randy?”
Congratulations Dan!
Frankly, I’m just shocked to hear that actor Tom Hanks is also a reverend. Gota love a guy who can multi-task.
This is quite a different Tom Hanks!
