Christopher Doyle wants his “ex-gay” equal rights!

“We want federal protection just as gays are given. Ex-gays also need to be given protection. We’re not discriminated against because we’re living heterosexual lives; we’re discriminated against because we’re former homosexuals and we dare to have a different viewpoint, an opposing viewpoint. Justice Kennedy, in his DOMA decision, basically said that gays and lesbians deserve the right to marry …

Nicholas Cummings, who headed the APA for one year back in 1979, has penned a USA Today column slamming the SPLC for their fraud lawsuit against the New Jersey-based “ex-gay” group JONAH. Cummings, who has keynoted the convention of NARTH, the most vile, lying “ex-gay” group in the nation, claims that hundreds of his patients successfully became heterosexual. Of the …

“While my sexual orientation is an important part of me, so is my faith. If SOCE therapy had been banned, as the SPLC is seeking to do by misusing consumer-fraud laws, I wouldn’t have simply chosen to accept my attractions. Instead, I would’ve remained stuck in shame, isolation and pain. It’s ironic that an SPLC victory in this lawsuit would …

Brian Tashman writes at Right Wing Watch: Since first reporting on the creation of “Ex-Gay Pride Month” and its now-cancelled reception at the Family Research Council, we have uncovered more unhinged rants by organizers DL Foster and Greg Quinlan. Foster, who previously called for Dan Savage’s arrest and claimed gay Christians are like people wearing “blackface,” has posted several blog …

Earlier this week a woman who claims to be able to exorcise the demons out of gay people testified against a Massachusetts bill to ban “ex-gay” therapy for minors. Wayne Besen writes for Truth Wins Out: Known exorcist, Joanne Highley of Life Ministries in New York City, testified as a key witness on Tuesday in front of the Massachusetts legislature’s …

“I don’t back something called ‘conversion therapy.’ I don’t even really know what conversion therapy is, and I’m not qualified to express an opinion on a particular kind of therapy. I back the right of gay people to seek the kind of counseling help they want, not the kind the SPLC lawyers want them to have, including help to live …

“Chuck Limandri, my old friend from the Carrie Prejean, Prop 8 fights, is a heckuva a lawyer and one brave man. He’s taking on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s massive legal machine to defend the right of Jewish gay people to seek help. SPLC is using consumer-fraud laws to try to bankrupt these small nonprofits and if it wins this …

“There was never going to be an actual ‘Ex-gay Pride Month’ because ex-gays are as rare as the Dodo bird. They simply could not find real ‘ex-gays’ to participate and had to cancel to save face. This was nothing but a desperate publicity stunt intended to revive a failing industry that has repeatedly embarrassed anti-gay organizations.  We challenge [Christopher] Doyle …

Posted on Friday before the cancellation. Watch Doyle collar unsuspecting tourists on the National Mall to ask them if they’ve ever heard of “ex-gays.” Then we meet a former drag queen who is now allegedly “ex-gay.” (Tipped by JMG reader Chris)

“Due to some anti-ex-gay extremism that has occurred since we first announced Ex-Gay Pride 2013, the July 31 Lobbying Day on Capitol Hill and Evening Dinner/Reception at the Family Research Council has had to be moved and postponed to an undisclosed location in September. The harassment has caused several security threats which has forced us to change plans, and that …

Posted yesterday by CBN Online: Right now only a remnant remain at the old Exodus offices in Orlando, but its leaders hope that the so-called death of this organization will result in the birth of a movement that starts a fresh conversation on faith and sexuality. “It’s a brand-new organization at this point,” Chambers admitted, “with no support, no funding …

PREVIOUSLY ON JMG: Quinlan says gay men are sexual cannibals. Quinlan says he’s gay because he was molested. Quinlan defends the “ex-gay” therapy of Ladybird Bachmann. Quinlan claims gay activist Wayne Besen threatened to inject him with AIDS. Quinlan testifies against New Jersey marriage. Quinlan works to increase attacks on LGBT children.  Quinlan attempts to distribute “ex-gay” flyers at public …

“In this regard we must note the unfortunate title The Homosexual Person (and therefore also the unfortunate title of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith document). In short, we should not predicate ‘homosexual’ of any person. That does a disservice to the dignity of the human person by collapsing personhood into sexual inclinations.  The chronology of the books …

“We are tired of the gay activist lobby discriminating [against] us, marginalizing us and taking away our rights, and we’re now fighting back, and we’re demanding that if gays are going to get full diversity and equality in America, we also demand that ex-gay voices be heard as well. What we’re going to be doing is former homosexuals, persons with …

Invited speakers include Crazy Eyes, who would presumably bring Ladybird.

The New Jersey Assembly has voted overwhelmingly to outlaw “ex-gay” therapy, setting the state on course to join California in banning the brainwashing of LGBT youth. IF Christie signs the bill. The bill passed by a 56-14 vote, with seven abstentions, and it was expected to be adopted by the state Senate in a vote on Thursday. Governor Chris Christie …

EuroNews reports: In the midst of the biggest nationwide protests against the government in decades Brazilians have taken to the streets to express their anger at a controversial law known as the “gay cure” proposed by the the president of the Brazilian Parliament’s Commission for Human Rights, Marco Feliciano. If passed the change in legislation would permit psychologists to treat …

“It’s just in the dreaming and infancy stage of all of that. We don’t have a name. We do have a website that we just quickly put up that is called ReduceFear.org. It’s not going to be the name of the organization, but it is one part of a mission statement that we have come up with about what we …
