"Ex-gay" (yeah, right!) gets own radio show

[kweerwolf]

Oh this is just too precious!

Stephen Bennett, the self-described "ex-gay" Christian recording artist with the poofy hair-do like no straight guy has worn since the '70s, has announced he'll be starting up his own radio show ... and on Halloween, of all the gay high holy days!

SBM’s brand new, daily half-an-hour radio broadcast Straight Talk Radio debuts worldwide on October 31, 2005! Listen 7 days a week (STR’s Weekend Edition streams ON-LINE only.)

Funny how his URL (www.straighttalkradio.org) can easily be confused with www.straighttalkradio.com which takes you to Air America Minnesota! I wonder how many of his dozen or so listeners will make a mistake typing in the URL? Maybe a little exposure to Air America will do them some good.

2. If only....

he were ex-stupid.

3. Funny how so many "ex-gays" want to spend so much of their time

talking about being gay.

[kweerwolf]

4. So true! ... Once you've gone 'ex-gay' there's no other way!

Actually, there's a lot of truth in what you say, tanyev.

In Wayne Besen's book "Anything But Straight," he comments that a lot of the "ex-gays" who claim they have been sucessfully "cured" turn around and go into the "ex-gay" business. It's almost like they want to constantly reinforce their conditioning by repeating it over and over to new recruits (and to themselves in the process).

6. "It's almost like they want to constantly reinforce their conditioning

by repeating it over and over to new recruits (and to themselves in the process)."

I'm confessed fundie Christians do this as well. They are not necessarily spreading the gospel as much as constantly reinforcing their own beliefs.

10. "anything but straight"

i bought that book today at borders and it is very interesting,because the far right groups accuse us of recruiting and yet they try to recruit ex-gays aounds like we should start acussing them of recruiting.

12. It's a good cover

for meeting other gay men who've been "cured". Heh, heh, heh.

5. from the website

"She’s the woman that stole his heart. He’s the former homosexual man.
Now married and on a mission… they’re out to set the record straight."

Excuse me while I barf...

7. that would be a hysterical introduction

to some ABC Finally Friday sitcom, around the 8:30 hour. . .but alas you aren't making this shit up!

[davidinalameda]

8. Wasn't there a Dolly Parton movie called "Straight Talk"

and not to be sterotypical, but we in the gay community do love Dolly!

wonder if that's where he got the idea for his show

[kevinbgoode]

9. this is hilarious. . .

seems to me that someone needs to ask Bennett if it's good business to be an "ex-gay". . .what an easy way to earn a living. Just run around the country and repeat the same nonsense over and over again.

The promos made me laugh hysterically. . .

11. Why is a contribution to a christian talk radio station tax deductible? nt
