Anti-Gay Camps

I have heard of them and decided to look it up and I was floored with what I found. These camps are disgusting and I am shocked that they would exist in a facist third world country never mind in America. Here is a link to some information I found:

I know it's horrible. I can't even read all of it. I have friends on www.gaychristian.net that have gone through the whole ex-gay thing. And it really is destructive to the mind. The organizations that do that disgust me.

 

ew that sucks

 

i know you can't hear me (or at least i hope not) but i am growling right now. grr

 

just a minor random amusement. the site is called the daily kos. kos in hebrew means cup. haha... the daily cup.

and yeah, I've seen that before - the kid has a livejournal somewhere... it's awful.

 

In case anyone's wondering; DailyKos is a rabidly mainstream (what a combo, eh?) democrat site; it's not the christian brainwashers.

So yeah, it's your daily cup of frothing middle-of-the-road lesser-conservativism. :H

 

Yep. I've heard about this stuff elsewhere.

I went through the ex-gay racket myself. IT DIDN'T WORK! On the other hand, I was convinced as a result of it that being gay was not a choice for me, that being gay meant I was being true to my nature.

The whole thing with the camps makes me think of the Nazi concentration camps.

 

Unbelievable... I hope someone kills that man and saves Terrance.

 

Violence only begets violence.

 

At one point I thought my parents were going to send me Ex-Gay. They're both hardcore conservative southern baptists. I think they're starting to get a hold on themselves though, and I also think my dad at least suspects I could be bisexual. I haven't openly talked about it with them though, partially because I don't want to confuse them as I don't accept labels. It would probably be easier for them to accept that I was gay then it would be for them to accept that I call myself human and let anything slide from there.

 

Its scary for me, cause this Nazi concentration camp is just minutes away.

 

go throw eggs at it.

 

it made me want to cry. I am trying to work up the courage to come out to my parents...
