They’re still gay, regardless of how adamantly they deny it or delude themselves. And thus the ridicule is appropriately placed. Them, and Scientologists. Uh-huh, those two right there, they get the ridicule.

I read with interest your lawsuit seeking to include “ex-gays” in laws such as ENDA.

It will be interesting to see if this moves forward.

I do find your logic somewhat circular. You claim that you want to be covered under laws that protect GLBT people from discrimination because they ARE gay – but to be protected under these laws because you are NOT gay (but “used to be”).

If you are an “Ex-gay” – doesn’t that now make you heterosexual? And why would you then identify as as an “Ex-gay” and not heterosexual?

It appears that this is a very thinly veiled attempt to use laws to protect GLBT people from discrimination in order that you might use those protections to promote your own anti-gay agenda – which I have to say, and I am supported by many true professionals in this regard – is a very destructive one.

However, if your case is allowed to move foward, and as an “Ex-catholic” (for lack of a better term) myself, I will then be more than happy to sue in order to be covered under freedom of religion laws. Since religion is unquestionably a choice.

With you own logic, I should then be allowed to assert anti-catholic views and be protected in doing so.

While I imagine that there are some GLBT people, for whatever life reasons – actually “choose” to pursue a homosexual life, I would venture to say that only those with masochistic tendencies would fall under that category.

I do feel sorry for what I imagine are the vast majority of people belonging to your group who have been taught and are so filled with self-loathing (someting that your organization no doubt reinforces) – that they feel the need to supress their own identity to such a self-destructive degree.

Having said that though, for the precious few, if any, that might exist who genuinely do fall under your category… I would suggest they identify themselves as heterosexual (that’s what they now claim to be, right?) and not “ex-gay” if they are so concerned about “discrimination”.

As stated, attempting to identify as an “Ex-gay” is obvious to any itelligent, thinking and rational person – little more than attempting to use GLBT protection laws to forward an anti-gay agenda.

My prayers for the unfortunate souls who have found their way to your organization.

Sincerely,
Chris Sullivan
