Last night California Gov. Jerry Brown finally signed the bill that bans “ex-gay therapy” for children under the age of 18. The bill, SB1172 by Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Torrance (Los Angeles County), bars mental health practitioners from performing so-called reparative therapy, which professional psychological organizations have said may cause harm. Gay rights groups have labeled them dangerous and abusive. “This …

Harvey writes: Have you wished you could find a simple flyer for your older grade school or middle school children about homosexuality? Well, Mission America has developed one. It’s clear, concise and provides a beginning basis for a more in-depth study as children mature. You can read and download it at the link below. Feel free to print this as …

“Ex-gay” Pastor Stephen Bennett was an alcoholic and a drug dealer. Because he was a homosexual and for no other reason. And now he’d like you to pay him to torture LGBT children. But first, send him a photo of that young man. Why don’t you take the time to pray, gather your thoughts, and write your story about your …

“Similar bills may soon be introduced in New Jersey and a few other states. It’s the latest strategy of those who oppose biblical morality to portray high sexual standards as being mean and hateful. Good luck with that because most of America is starting to see how false and harmful the gay agenda is and it’s our youth who are …

California’s bill to outlaw “ex-gay” therapy for minors was approved by the state Assembly yesterday. The bill has already passed in the state Senate. The 51-21 vote in the Democratic-controlled Assembly marked a major victory for gay rights advocates who say the so-called conversion therapy has no medical basis because homosexuality is not a disorder. Opponents of the practice say …

From the Becky Fischer Ministry: “Children were deeply touched during prayer time at the end of one of our kids conferences. We were amazed, as the longer they stayed, the deeper the experience. This video was taken after about an hour of them praying.”Source.

Virulently anti-gay nutcase Robert “Gay Is Worse Than Incest” Gagnon, who regularly speaks at NOM affiliated events, will keynote the September “ex-gay” conference by the brand spanking new Restored Hope Network, which was apparently formed in reaction to Exodus International’s recent rejection of brainwashing and torture. Restored Hope Network (RHN) has recently been formed by leaders from throughout North America …

Parent & Friends Of “Ex-Gays” are predictably quivering with anger over California’s proposed bill to ban the torture and brainwashing of LGBT children. PFOX writes to the bill’s main sponsor, CA Sen. Ted Lieu: Sponsoring legislation endorsed by the gay lobby to ensure that children only receive gay-affirming therapy is an act of childhood endangerment and an unconstitutional attempt to …

IMPORTANT UPDATE: It appears the below quote was first published by the Christianist Charisma Magazine in 2004. Ex-Gay Watch speculates as to why the story is now appearing on the magazine’s front page with today’s date: “Is someone at the conservative Christian publication trying to sabotage him [Chambers] by bringing up his past words?” As always, infighting is funny. And …

“Alan, what you are saying is untrue. I have never said I could cure someone completely from homosexuality. All my books make it quite clear that homosexual attractions will persist to some degree throughout a person’s lifetime. Furthermore, I do not use heterosexual pornography with my clients. I do ask them (if they wish to do this; some clients do …

The New York Times reports that more “ex-gay” ministries are moving to distance themselves from Exodus International, whose head Alan Chambers has admitted that reparative therapy never works. Mr. [David] Pickup, an officer of the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality [NARTH], composed of like-minded therapists, said reparative therapy had achieved profound changes for thousands of people, including …

“For 36 years, First Stone Ministries has been affiliated with Exodus International, a network of ministries that all proclaim freedom from homosexuality through relationship with Jesus Christ.

The “ex-gay” group PFOX has filed suit against the superintendent of a Maryland school district, claiming that by insulting their distribution of anti-gay flyers, he committed sexual orientation discrimination against them.

Yesterday’s Good As You post about Pastor Sean Harris went viral here and elsewhere, catching the attention of local North Carolina media who demanded an explanation.

But …

Here’s a revolting demonstration of Christian Love™ from Sean Harris, the Senior Pastor of Berean Baptist Church in Fayetteville, North Carolina. This will likely be the sickest thing you hear today, be warned. (Via Good As You)

I should have pointed it out myself, but Jim Burroway makes the astute observation that California’s pending bill to ban “ex-gay” therapy would only apply to licensed mental health professionals. Parents would still be completely free to ship their poor child off to whatever crackpot dirtbag preacher they found on the internet. Burroway also outlines another way around the pending …

“PFOX is calling on students to distribute flyers promoting acceptance of ex-gays. Former homosexuals and their supporters are ridiculed and forced to live in silence. Our nation’s schools deny students with unwanted same-sex attractions any support or fact-based information that feelings can and do change. We encourage everyone to print these flyers and distribute them at their schools on April …

Dean Byrd, former president of the discredited anti-gay NARTH (National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality), has died at the age of 64.

Allegedly “ex-gay” Pastor DL Foster is selling a November retreat at the glamorous Best Western in Helen, Georgia, where self-hating homosexuals will gather in budget hotel rooms for lessons on masculinity and religious indoctrination.
