-The Times of South Africa takes a look at the ex-gay movement.
-A former ex-gay leader who now helps GLBT individuals come to terms with their sexuality is named one of samesame.com.au’s 25 Most Influential Gay and Lesbian Australians for 2008.
-Join The Impact to host peaceful candlelight vigils in cities all over the country in memorial of the marriages that were dissolved due to Proposition 8.
-Randy Thomas praises Rick Warren’s appointment to give the U.S. inaugural invocation, despite the fact that some gay groups are upset and allegedly making it “all about them.” He says it shows Obama is interested in governing for “all” citizens and not just “special interest groups.”
-Meanwhile Rick Warren, not content with merely equating gay relationships to incest and pedophilia, describes all gays as promiscuous, immature and lacking in character.
-Unsurprisingly, Warren’s church also hosts an ex-gay ministry.
I seems to me Randy Thomas is missing quite a lot.
A “preacher” into creationism, anti evolution, misogyny and equating gays with pedophilia and incest and a lack of carachter, wouldn’t go far over here in Europe. That’s for sure.
Seems just another hate spewer to me 🙁
Not my Gospel.
BTW, hate spewers in religious garb seems one of the biggest interest groups in late modern USA.
Oh, that “Reaching across the aisle” nonsense???
Please. Asking a muslim cleric to do the honours would have been the Change We Expected. (And we did expect Change).
Asking a greedy, fat, politically motivated, uneducated, gays-R-just-like paedophiles, self-actualised religious hypocrite is… the Same We Rejected.
James Dobson, your heir awaits.
When people like RW are willing to stop comparing me to paedophiles in “civil” conversation, I’m willing to talk. Until that time, he came blow it out backwards.
At least anti-gay Republicans are honest enough to spit directly in your face.
Very, VERY unimpressed.
On a ‘lighter’ note, we’re pleased to announce that Our country did vote for the UN resolution calling on criminal sanctions to be dropped against gay men and lesbians.
66 voted for that.
60 voted against it, primarily organised by the (very anti-gay not-named) Islamic group. The Vatican pulled out at the last moment. (As they suggest).
The United States did not cast a vote. Apparently decriminalisation would cause confusion regards federal v. state legislation in the Land of the Free.. so they claim.
Very, VERY unimpressed. Again.
Gawd, obviously the Christmas Spirit… retail version … is getting to us.
In 2 days time we will have bought all our Xmas nonsense. And I promise our cheerful if biting manner will return to normal at that point. No, really, it will 🙂
May I write digests for XGW on occasion? I would be more than happy to link to articles at certain other web sites about ex-gays. 🙂
Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, and Blessed Eid, everyone…
