Default An Ex-Gay leader is:

A judgmental and closeted person who makes way too much money his living, by selling the belief that all gay people can learn to be straight, if you just force help them to learn to find your understanding of God, and be saved. . . By you, of course.

A cynical Christian, at the moment, BruceChris

Well, Peace and Love

An ex-gay leader is a guy who tells you that it's evil to like guys, and that through therapy and prayer (to the one true God of the correct denominational affiliation) he no longer likes guys, because after all he's married a woman now and made five babies with her, but spends his free time on the bike trails drooling over muscular cyclists in shorts and tank tops, wishing that he were the bicyle seat.

An ex-gay leader is a guy who goes to the gay bar to friendship/witness. He invites patrons to join his group in non-threatening activities like camping and volleyball. In down time while camping he can share the love of Jesus in a personal and meaningful way. If there's a little physical contact well, that can hardly be helped while camping or playing volleyball. All this is done while his "wife" is carting the kids around to various activities for school and church.

OK, this is probably not the best use of my poetic gifts, but couldn't resist. I wrote it this morning. Hope you enjoy.


I once was lost,
a man in great need
of salvation from
this wretched disease.
An answer did come
to my prayers and pleas.
Ex-gay therapy
really worked for me!

My heart was heavy,
my soul did bleed.
I'd see a hot guy
and go weak in the knees.
But they taught me the
truth and set me free.
Ex-gay therapy
really worked for me!

The phallus is but
a sacred reed
meant for implanting
a life-giving seed.
It was made for woman,
of course not for me!
Ex-gay therapy
really worked for me!

I took their advice,
met a girl--Peggy Lee.
We walked down the aisle,
I knew I was free.
No more men--I've beaten
homosexuality.
Ex-gay therapy
really worked for me!


After the ceremony,
to the men's room I did flee.
Snuck a peek at the
caterer as he peed.
He looked my way,
and smiled wickedly.
Ex-gay therapy
really worked for me!
