“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 …

An anti-gay Christian group has booked the above campaign to run on London’s buses. The Guardian reports: The full length advert, which will appear on five different routes in the capital, is backed by the Core Issues Trust whose leader, Mike Davies, believes “homoerotic behaviour is sinful”. His charity funds “reparative therapy” for gay Christians who believe that they have …

The nation’s most famous/infamous “ex-gay” researcher today renounced his best known study, work that is heavily cited by anti-gay and Christianist hate groups. In a move that serves as a significant blow to “ex-gay” programs and anti-gay organizations, Dr. Robert Spitzer repudiated his much-criticized 2001 study that claimed some “highly motivated” homosexuals could go from gay to straight. His retraction …

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.

Fake-ass “ex-gay” Pastor DL (Down-Low) Foster posted the above cartoon to Twitter today where it was immediately forwarded by SPLC-certified hater Porno Pete LaBarbera.

“April 20 is the annual ‘Day of Silence’ when student and teacher members of homosexual clubs in schools across the country remain silent for the school day in order to bring attention to intolerance against homosexuals. Since members of these gay affirming clubs agree to remain silent for the day, April 20 is the time to distribute ex-gay information without …

The Southern Poverty Law Center has issued an in-depth examination of the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH), which the SPLC calls “the main source for anti-gay junk science.” An excerpt: The LGBT community is overwhelmingly the group most targeted in violent hate crimes, according to an Intelligence Report analysis of 14 years of federal hate crime …

“An important statistic that I read once was that there’s a survey done of 12 year-olds that found at age 12, 25 percent of the students were unsure of their sexual orientation. But we know from surveys of the adult population that only maybe 2 to 3 percent of the adult population will actually identify as homosexual or bisexual. So …

“I do not believe this Field Poll of 59% of California regular voters support same-sex marriage. That just flies in the face of the two real polls, two elections — one to change the laws in California, the other one to change the state Constitution. The California voters want marriage to be one man, one woman — period. In spite …

A Bronx judge has granted an injunction against an earlier ruling that banned churches from meeting in New York City public schools. That means viciously anti-gay preachers, congregations, and at least one “ex-gay” organization will again convene tomorrow, essentially for free, in public spaces across the city. Some church groups openly admit that they are engaging in a “church planting” …

“The political rhetoric was disgusting. It was bigoted, it was anti-Christian, and it was all Democrats. We had three Democrats who voted with us, and we had no Republicans who voted wrong. We were pleased at least with that. The next thing is that we’re demanding a referendum; we’re demanding it be put on the ballot. But as long as …
