Have you seen the actions and involvement of Exodus and the rest of the "christian" ex-gay movement in Uganda? Have you paid attention to the affirmation of Cohen by groups such as Exodus - do a Google search for yourself.<br /><br />Aside from that all ex-gay groups buy into the same rhetoric, propaganda and lies fueled by religious fundamentalist ideals - and peddle the same material, whether it is the recently debunked "Masters & Johnsson" lies, or the Paul Cameron pie-in-the-sky. <br /><br />They do not have the good of any GLBTI individual as its goal - in fact I fail to see how you can even call it "help" with a "straight" face - excuse the pun.<br /><br />You are kidding yourself if you think you have been "made straight" or "cured" - if you were gay at all, you will be gay till the day you die and still gay the day you stand before God, they way he or she made you. Self-denial is not being heterosexual or a "cure".<br /><br />What you call a "caricature" is in fact the way gay people STILL are treated, by both the US-influenced religious right all around the world, and their puppets - the so-called "ex-gay" industry.Christina Engelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934902065494911555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787625573925551983.post-55299682141096262182010-05-03T05:30:51.923-07:002010-05-03T05:30:51.923-07:00Neither Richard Cohen or PFOX are related to Exodu...Neither Richard Cohen or PFOX are related to Exodus. Exodus has positively helped thousands of people. I have been on this Christian post-gay journey over seventeen years now and don't regret it at all. The caricature you paint is what people used to do to gay people. If want to make a true difference break the pattern of dehumanizing those you disagree with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
