Former "ex-gay" minister announces he's not really "ex"

So in 2003, I left the public ministry and gave up my role as a spokesman for the “ex-gay movement.” I began a new journey. In the decade since, my beliefs have changed. Today, I do not consider myself “ex-gay” and I no longer support or promote the movement. Please allow me to be clear: I do not believe that reparative therapy changes sexual orientation; in fact, it does great harm to many people.

I know that countless people were harmed by things I said and did in the past,

Parents, families, and their loved ones were negatively impacted by the notion of reparative therapy and the message of change. I am truly, truly sorry for the pain I have caused.

how else will you know u can trust them with your girlfriend?

I generally Like to know someone is gay because I tend to get along with them as I am pretty far left wing in my political opinions.

plus the tend to treat me like i would treat a pretty lady free Drinks

What I'm trying to say is that if problems arise, we intend to be on that shit pronto!

Also, you just gave me an idea that I will soon post in Site Announcements. Thanks :D
