What it feels like in an ex-gay camp

I spent two years in the Love in Action Ex-Gay program in Memphis, TN. This weekend I saw the musical Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat and saw represented on stage what it felt like in the ex-gay camp.

@anjela1981 Hey thanks!

[fandude15]

i am very confused i understand that ur against the ex gay camp but u say bob looked better yet he is working with the camp so wouldnt that mean hes still "ex gay"?

[p2son]

@fandude15 he WORKED for them but has not in some years. Post-ex-gay he is doing and looking well. It's like he found new health after coming out.

Ex gay ministries: bringing people together. Although not in the way they intended.

Truth be known: I never had ex gay experience. However: I still relate to the isolation, I spent the majority of my life imposing my own isolation on myself because I had it reinforced there was something wrong with me.

When you finally realize that there's nothing wrong with being gay... but with the people who THINK there's something wrong with being gay, it is really liberating.

Right on dude.

Hi there, have you ever considered what life might be like if you identified as a "human being who has gay attraction" instead of a "gay human being"? Curious.

@ModerateGuy738 How nice that you can type a quote from a book. Aren't you so smart. Save yourself some grief and come out of the closet.

Thank G/d for GAY PRIDE -- Celebrate what G/d made you, not what some fundamentalist christian has decided that Jesus wants you to be............ Shame, People who are gay are born gay. People who are hetrosexual are born that way. Each to their own.
