Soulforce ANTI-HETEROSEXISM CONFERENCE 2009

[GuitarPlaya3313]

0:58....You can believe that God's plan is for people to become oranges...that doesn't make it his plan. God doesn't "hate" gays/homosexuals...contrary to the westboro baptist church...But i am a Christian and i believe the bible is God's word. God hates sin...And ONE of many sins, is homosexuality...therefore, you cannot have "acceptance" of it, and be following God's plan...God has called christians to LOVE people like He does. There is condemnation for ALL sin, not just this one...

@exgaysurvivordan GOD plan was to be who he created you to be with no change at all..! Change is not even possible no matter how hard you prey or how many thripiypt you pay to see. The plan was not for you to be straight it was for you to be gay hopeful many young gay men find out the truth like you.... I'm 28 and gay it may have been a few time in high school where I wished to be straight but know I wouldn't want to be straight if you pay me to be

@TazHall I'm not forcing anything, I was just being sarcastic. Lets tolerate and respect every sexuality.

[GretchenDawntreader]

The ex-gay movement's definition of being gay is like saying a green triangle is actually a blue triangle with green-colored tendencies.

Before you invest the time, money, emotional energy and possibly years of your life trying to go from gay to straight, ask the ex-gay leaders what guarantee they can give you that it will work. If they are honest with you, the best they will be able to offer you as a degree of heterosexual functionality, but the gay never actually goes away. Then ask yourself what would be the best way to spend your time, money and emotional energy..rejecting yourself or accepting yourself.

[avb7]

After 22 years of trying to change including ex-gay programs, exorcisms and 16 years of marriage, I came to the realisation that loving myself was far healthier than hating and rejecting my true self. Like 1,000s of others today, I finally discovered that I can live a wonderfully fulfilling, moral life as an openly gay man and still have my faith.

[avb7]

our honest stories of resolution Daniel are a powerful way to de-construct the 'ex-gay' myth. We are the blessed ones. Free to be ourselves and live authentic and open lives. Had I known the truth as a teenager that no one actually changes from gay to straight I wouldn't have wasted 22 years of my life struggling to do the impossible. It was a torturous journey as you know. And not everyone makes it through......the ex-gay groups message has contributed to suicides.

[shairaptor]

Yes, stop the heterosexism and spread sexual diversity. Heterosexual lifestyle is indeed forced on us 24/7. Gay and all other harmless sexual orientations that exist FTW! :)

Everyone pays a very big price for preaching homophobia.

[collegeguy2009]

abolish ex-gay therapy... end homophobia, end traditional gender roles/stereotypes.

[rextrek]

wow - intense video....

[YasuiErikai]

Here's a tip: Learn the original language of the Bible. then read the Bible in that language. The only thing you've done is try to brainwash yourself. Good luck to you.

[Eshto]

Or here's a better idea: Read many books, from different cultures and points of view, rather than waste precious time of your life obsessing over one of them.

And if you're going to go all gung-ho for one subject, why not make it science so you actually end up knowing something about the world.

[YasuiErikai]

I happen to be a homosexual who is a Christian, a lover of history, and geography, but thanks anyways.

[YasuiErikai]

I don't like science. It's not my thing plain and simple. No one cares about any other subject I may or may not like. I only talked about history because it was the only subject that had anything to do with the comment I made. If you want to know more about what I'm into, what I'm not into, or what I should be into you are more than welcome to talk to me about it.

[jerrydoubleu]

No god would have ever thrown away so many loving gay lives, and so is religion obscene.

[distraction1980]

I was "converted" in 2002 after intense brainwashing. (They said I needed my brain washed). Wish I could go to conference! thanks man for the videos!

[newkillerstardust]

Heterosexual lifestyle is pushed on us 24/7.

[mender722]

@newkillerstardust That's right. Hetero-sexism on parade, every day, all the time, in your face, at home, at work, and at play.

[shairaptor]

@newkillerstardust and that sucks big time!
