Uganda’s “kill gays” bill proponent Pastor Martin Ssempa held an “ex-gay” press conference last week, intending to put two so-called former homosexuals on display as proof that you can pray the gay away. Things backfired when he opened his presentation by playing a “graphic” gay porn film for reporters. Ugandan pastor Martin Ssempa showed a press conference graphic gay porn …

A family court judge in Virginia has given Lisa Miller another 30 days to appear with her 7 year-old daughter or face arrest. Presumably aided by the anti-gay Liberty Counsel, Miller went into hiding last month after a Vermont judge awarded custody of her daughter to Miller’s lesbian ex-partner, Janet Jenkins. After “renouncing” her homosexuality and finding Jeebus, Miller had …

“My skeptical buddies will splutter, ‘You what?! Miss Patsy, trouser-chaser extraordinaire, has decided she’s now dancing at the other end of the ballroom? Pur-leeeeeeeze!’ They have seen little evidence of an interest in the opposite sex during my adult life, nor asked why. And that’s the clincher. If there had been an interest, it became eclipsed by other more instant, …

“Many years ago, the Lord ordained me to enter into a prophetic battle to destroy the demonic works of Satan in San Diego as a preparatory phase for a major move of God that would begin in this city. For ten years I have stayed that course and never abandoned my assignment. Through dreams and visions, God has granted me …

“Ex-gay” Lisa Miller and her daughter Isabella remain on the lam, one week after a Vermont judge ordered Miller to surrender custody of Isabella to Miller’s ex-partner, Janet Jenkins. Yesterday the Bedford County, Virginia sheriff’s office issued a missing persons report for the pair, saying that while no Virginia laws have been broken, they do want proof that the pair …

Exodus International president, author of Leaving Homosexuality, and anti-marriage equality activist Alan Chambers is talking about his wife, people. His cisgender, legally married in Jeebus’ name, wife. I don’t what you all were thinking.

Lisa Miller (left) has until tomorrow to hand her daughter Isabella over to her ex-partner Janet Jenkins and nobody is saying where they are hiding, especially not the anti-gay Liberty Counsel, Miller’s attorneys, who appear to be complicit in Isabella’s kidnapping. “She does not know where her daughter is and she is trying to find her,” Sarah Star, an attorney …

America’s two most-reviled homophobes are battling each other about a repulsive remark that Peter LaBarbera attributed to the Liberty Counsel’s Matt Barber. It all started over Barber’s announcement that he would lead a wingnut boycott of CPAC if GOProud was allowed to remain a co-sponsor. Round One, Porno Pete: It boils down to this: there is nothing “conservative” about — …

How blatantly bizarre and predatory does “ex-gay reparative therapy” have to be for even the mental cases at Exodus International to disavow you? Here’s some of what their “therapist” at their Lansing, Michigan affiliate did to young Patrick McAlvey. “He asked how large my penis was. He asked if I shave my pubic hair. He asked what type of underwear …

You may recall the deranged “ex-gay” advocate Richard Cohen, whose ridiculous “reparative therapies” such as beating out one’s homosexual tendencies with a tennis racket and a pillow became the laughingstock of YouTube. Well, it turns out that Cohen isn’t quite the relatively harmless lunatic we all thought. His book’s completely fabricated “statistics” about gays “recruiting” and molesting children (courtesy of …

You may recall Ted Cox, the straight, formerly Mormon, reporter who went undercover at an “ex-gay” conversion therapy retreats in two states. Cox was unable to tell his story because his publisher feared legal reprisals if Cox were to break the confidentiality agreement the “ex-gays” made him sign. This week Cox has broken the agreement in an interview with Alternet. …

The Black Gay Men’s Network today published a full-page ad in the NYC daily newspaper Metro in reaction to attacks on the LGBT community by black clergy and in response to “ex-gay” preacher Donnie McClurkin’s recent outrageous and hateful rantings, which were posted to YouTube. It reads in part: Pastor Donnie McClurkin -We love you brother and in ways the …

Donnie McClurkin, the supposedly “ex-gay” preacher that has been spotted having intimate dinners with “flamboyant” young men in quiet Manhattan restaurants, appeared at the Church of God In Christ’s youth conference in Memphis to babble in tongues and call gays “vampires” (among other lovely things). Take it away Rod McCullom: In the first of three disgusting YouTube videos, McClurkin begins …

Focus On The Family’s final “ex-gay” conference is being held in Birmingham this weekend, where anti-“ex-gay” activist Wayne Besen spoke at the University of Alabama to expose the myths and dangers of their “pray away the gay” campaign. Embroiled in financial difficulties and layoffs, Focus of the Family has handed off their “ex-gay” conference business to Exodus International, an organization …

“But, what about my desires? People constantly complain: ‘I’m just not attracted to women! And, I’m SO attracted to guys!’ No, you’re not. You’re obsessed with the lustful desires of a fallen body, the body that – ultimately – hates itself and hates the truth. You know the way out, but you’re selfishly unwilling to take it. You would rather …

“The game plan of the international homosexual movement and Mayor Daley was to create the physical appearance in Chicago through the Gay Games that would result in selling the international Olympic Committee on the idea that Chicago was ready for a bigger event: the 2016 Olympics. At the time of the Gay Games, former homosexual James Hartline was flown into …

Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays are opposing the Matthew Shepard Act, a honking contradiction since they wildly celebrated their recent inclusion in Washington DC’s list of sexual orientation protections. But no one ever accused the “ex-gays” of making sense. Washington City Paper’s Amanda Hess: Let’s try to pick that one apart, shall we? According to PFOX, hate crime laws protecting …

Back in March we learned of the church in Connecticut that had posted YouTube clips of its bizarre “homosexuality exorcism” rituals. It took a few months, but eventually the mainstream media picked up on the story, prompting Connecticut to investigate the church for abusing children. This week the 16 year-old focus of the inquiry, who was seen flopping around on …

Speaking to a Mormon “ex-gay” group, LDS Elder Bruce Hafen said “being gay is not in your DNA” and that if you think you are, it’s because Satan is telling you so. Hafen promised attendees, “If you are faithful, on resurrection morning — and maybe even before then — you will rise with normal attractions for the opposite sex.” Whenever …

Ted Cox, a straight formerly Mormon reporter, thought it would an interesting story to go undercover at Journey Into Manhood, a “recovery from homosexuality” event in Salt Lake City. But Cox was unable to publish his story because the event’s organizer convinced his employer that to do so would violate the confidentiality agreement he’d signed. But he can talk about …
