"Ex-Gay" rally planned again...

Gee, it went over so well last year, right?

Following last year’s smashing success of an ex-gay pride event,



ex-gay activists are organizing another “Ex-Gay Awareness Month” summit featuring Alan Keyes, Sandy Rios, Matt Barber and Peter Sprigg, along with real-life ex-gays Greg Quinlan and Christopher Doyle. You can now receive a special early bird rate for the Washington D.C. event, which will disclose its location upon registration [PDF] .

Is that subliminal messaging?

I always find it interesting that one of the biggest myths of homosexuality is our recruiting campaign, yet it is the EX-gays (**snicker**) who actually do the recruiting. At least when you come to our side you get some hot sex and a toaster/microwave. What do you get from their side? Alan Keys and self-denial.

They might even double the attendance to 20 or so, if they bothered to tell fellow "ex-gay activists" where they were going.

I just love a good mystery.

Perhaps if they left that fact out, they might have a higher participation.

I haven't made many new friends in the city I've moved to, but I had gay friends and co-workers before, and I know none of them thought about being gay as much as these clowns do.
