"Fewer than ten show up for ex-gay pride event that expected to draw ‘thousands’"

Fewer than ten show up for ex-gay pride event that expected to draw ‘thousands’

"SNIP................................


On Tuesday, American Family Radio’s Sandy Rios spoke to Ex-Gay Pride Month organizer Christopher Doyle about Wednesday’s ex-gay lobby day on Capitol Hill.

Doyle, who was organizing the since-canceled Ex-Gay Pride banquet at the Family Research Council, complained in an interview with the Christian Post that “un-American” LGBT rights advocates have “shut us out,” explaining that “because of all this homo-fascism and indoctrination in the media, ex-gays aren’t given a fair shake.”

Rios confidently predicted that “thousands of ex-gays are descending” on Washington for a press conference planned for Wednesday at the Supreme Court. She lamented that when she led Concerned Women for America the media refused to hear “our ex-gay friends” because it “undermined the whole effort of the homosexual lobby.”

Well, despite the expectation that “thousands of ex-gays” would partake in Ex-Gay Pride Month, fewer than ten people showed up for the big event.

Funny how the same people who would tell you there is no cure for pedophiles or other sexual deviants, and consider gay people as such when it's convenient, can also claim they can be "cured", when it's convenient for them.
