The Southern Poverty Law Center and Truth Wins Out are in Atlanta today to protest the Exodus International convention. Via SPLC press release: Conversion therapy — sometimes known as reparative or “sexual reorientation” therapy — is a dangerous practice based on the premise that people can change their sexual orientation, literally “converting” from gay to straight. It has been discredited …

Because if God wants gay children to kill themselves, don’t you fucking DARE interfere with his holy will! Pastor Down Low Foster provides his contact details.

Shortly after she accused gay activists of exploiting black civil rights, the “ex-gay” activist wife of suspended CNN commentator Roland Martin deleted her entire Twitter account. Garsh, I wonder why?

“I like the word that you used there, ‘cannibalized,’ because there is a scientific term that’s called that, ‘I want to have sex with that man so I can be like him, so I can become a part of him.’ It is a sexual, emotional cannibalization. ‘That person has something I want, they look better than I do, they’re more …

PFOX is outraged that a Maryland school board member is “disgusted” by their flier campaign telling students that they don’t have to “choose” to be gay. “We call on the Montgomery County Board of Education to enforce its Nondiscrimination Policy and censure Superintendent Starr immediately,” said Regina Griggs, executive director of PFOX. “The Policy mandates that schools provide ‘an atmosphere …

From the film’s about page: The film centers on the story of David, a straight-A student from Colorado who was sent to Escuela Caribe in May of 2006 after coming out to his parents as gay. Like many others, David was taken in the night without warning by a “transport service” and was never told where he was going or …

“I want to talk first of all about something I heard from the very beginning by people of this Legislature that we are bigots as people of faith, because we do not hold that homosexual marriage should be codified. That somehow we are bigots and we are ideologues because we are people of faith. I want to address that hate. …

Conveniently timed to coincide with the renewed marriage equality battle, Maine’s Bishop Richard Malone is launching an “ex-gay” group. Malone announced in a press release the establishment of a local chapter of Courage, a worldwide spiritual support group based in Norwalk, Conn. The Rev. Kevin Martin, who serves St. Michael Parish in Augusta, has been appointed the chaplain for the …

Last night Rachel Maddow and Wayne Besen of Truth Wins Out delved into the donations made by a Romney foundation. I recently mentioned the anti-gay groups that get Romney money, but as Besen explains, at least one of those groups also advocates for “ex-gay” therapy.

As I reported last week, Baltimore County is considering adding sexual orientation and gender identity to its non-discrimination policies. The “ex-gay” group PFOX is now demanding that they too be protected from discrimination. Because whatever “ex-gays” are, it isn’t a sexual orientation? “Councilmember Quark’s legislation must specifically include former homosexuals to ensure non-discrimination against unpopular minority groups like the ex-gay …

“The majority of people that I have met, and I would say the majority meaning 99.9 percent of them, have not experienced a change in their orientation or have gotten to a place where they could say that they could never be tempted or are not tempted in some way or experience some level of same-sex attraction. I think that …

Pat Robertson’s CBN covers the naming of “ex-gay” leader Alan Chambers as “Christian Hero Of The Year.” Conveniently, CBN makes no mention of the many, many former Exodus leaders, founders, and followers who have revealed that not one person in the organization has ever actually successfully become a heterosexual.

“The Obama agenda propagates the attack of Judeo-Christian beliefs on a global level. The Bible says that the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). It is his main objective to bring confusion and cause division within the church and he does this by altering God’s truth in such a way that many Christians are deceived if they …

Igor Volsky reports that the above full-page Exodus International ad appeared this week in newspapers in Trinidad and Jamaica. Embiggen for bullshittery.

His “brokenness” was cured with a $5 bill Jeebus left on the sidewalk for him. Or something! And now he totally knows about “true masculinity.” Ahem.

Marcus Bachmann has backed down on his demand that a Truth Wins Out undercover reporter pay for “reparative therapy” sessions that he booked but didn’t attend. “The last thing we expected was for Marcus Bachmann to behave rationally and abandon his specious and spiteful claim that we owed him money,” said Truth Wins Out Executive Director Wayne Besen. “It is …
