Council, counselors can lose their license just for offering the kind of therapy these children seek. …

Via the New York Times: A scathing report released by the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday found that the Central Intelligence Agency routinely misled the White House and Congress about the information it obtained from the detention and interrogation of terrorism suspects, and that its methods were more brutal than the C.I.A. acknowledged either to Bush administration officials or to …

“Tuesday’s unanimous decision by the D.C. Council is a victory for gay pedophiles everywhere, but especially in the District.

After losing twice before the Ninth Circuit Court, in late June the Liberty Counsel was smacked down by SCOTUS in their attempt to overturn California’s ban on “ex-gay” torture. But they are trying again, this time in New Jersey. Via press release: Today Liberty Counsel filed its Petition for a Writ of Certiorari in King v. Christie, Liberty Counsel’s case …

Rep. Michele Bachmann has posted a Buzzfeed list titled “16 Things I’ll Miss About Being In Congress.” Fourth on her list is “Speech Prep With My Staff.” For some reason, speech prep includes rapping a snippet from Macklemore’s Thrift Shop, last year’s top selling US single. It boggles the mind that Bachmann enjoys the music of one the nation’s most …

Just listen. Heh.

“It is outrageous and tragic that the Founder of the largest gay activist organization in the world is molesting boys, while at the same time their leadership is pushing for laws across the United States to keep those same boys out of the counseling office to heal trauma at the hands of homosexual pedophiles. In light of these serious allegations, …

“Homosexuals can change and have changed through all types of helpful Christian therapy, Dr. Moore. I’ve met them. I Cor. 6 also clearly tells us that redeemed sinners of all stripes can change, else why the reference, ‘such WERE some of you?’ What galls me the most is how he’s playing right into the hands of Big Gay, which is …

This morning Russell Moore, the president of the Southern Baptists’ Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, denounced “ex-gay” torture at the group’s Nashville convention on sexuality. “The utopian idea if you come to Christ and if you go through our program, you’re going to be immediately set free from attraction or anything you’re struggling with, I don’t think that’s a Christian …

“I think the ex-gay movement will be dead within the next 10 years. As churches become more gay-affirming, parents and church leaders won’t seek parachurch ministries to ‘fix’ in gay Christians what isn’t broken. The fact that the ex-gay movement has been a monumental failure with no real, lasting change in those who have sought to negate same-sex attractions and …
