Editor's note: Michael Glatze is a former homosexual-rights activist who "came out" of that lifestyle via two WND columns, "How a 'gay rights' leader became straight" and "Confessions of a former 'gay rights' leader."
As I watch 100,000 people pile together shouting, "Gay, Straight, Black, White: Marriage is a Civil Right," begging to be allowed by law to participate in a life of homosexual behavior, I am impressed by how desensitized we have come as a society.

But there are some people who are suddenly skeptical when anyone claims to be ex-gay. They don't believe the ex-gay claim, they don't believe the ex-gay testimony nor their declaration that they are ex-gay.
When somebody uses a certain standard to measure the credibility of what one group says, but then refuses to use the same standard to measure the credibility of what another group says—thereby ignoring the claims of the second group (ex-gays)--he should ask himself why he believes one group and not the other... This is a double standard.

Great article, thank you for finding and posting it!
If the butt-lickers want to marry a woman, like a normal person, they have the same right as everyone else.
Be gay all you want but for the love of God stop getting in me and my kids face about it. Tolerance does not require my full endorsement along with a cheque in the form of tax breaks to boot.
Would you let your daugher marry an ex-gay?
That was a JOKE!!!!
“When Michael Glatze ran YGA (Young Gay American) Magazine and claimed to be gay, the subscribers to his magazine and others believed him, as they took Glatze at his word. ...But there are some people who are suddenly skeptical when anyone claims to be ex-gay. They don’t believe the ex-gay claim... This is a double standard.”
Yes, it is a double standard. I’m not saying there should be a double standard, but I can explain why there is. I think it is because there is an assumption that the pressure against being gay is so overwhelming in society, that no one would lie about this and falsely claim that he is gay. Conversely, in view of this same societal pressure, the assumption is that a lot of people who are gay will lie and say that they are not. When you turn these societal rules around, you can get comedy out of it, like the straight clothing designer in the show Ugly Betty, who acted like he was flaming to establish credibility in his profession.

I agree. I know someone who is a militant gay, and he and his boyfriend/partner/whatever are planning to get married in Connecticut sometime soon. For what purpose? Is there a law that prevents them from living together and doing whatever behind closed doors? Nope. Do they qualify for any benefits being "married" vs. not? Nope. Are they celibate, and await only the bonds of "marriage" to "know" each other? Nope.
It is a sham. This whole idea of "gay marriage" is a crock of hooey, invented for the sole purpose of giving organized religion (of whatever stripe) the finger, simply because organized religion failed to endorse their lifestyle as moral or permitted.
Someday, people are going to get completely sick and tired of this nonsense. However, I'm not holding my breath. Any country that could elect Mr. Obama to the Office of President is in very, very sad shape. My wife says that this is about what it must've been like in Sodom & Gomorrah, and she's probably not far off.
Yeah, I thought an article by Michael Glatze would have an interesting perspective so thought I’d post and ping it out.
I would leave that up to my daughter.
Indeed. It’s a complicated issue plus there’s so much misinformation out there. My comment was to get people thinking and talking about the growing ex-gay population.
Bttt
LMAO!
I guess it would depend if my daughter had a knack for decorating; it could be a real plus.
With due deference to The SCOTUS, there can be no right to marry. I have no “right” to marry unless I also have authority to force some other human being into a union that they object to.
Now, if there’s some guy so weak in so many ways that it’s TRULY said, “No one will marry him.” does he have a “right” to marry?
One can only respond, “IF (read if)....he can find someone....yada, yada, yada.”
By using the word “if”, we have just made it conditional on what someone ELSE does. I suspect many have gone through life desiring to be married but unable to find a willing partner.
Anyone think the government should assign them, so these poor souls get to exercise their “right”?
Not quite like Soddom and Gomorrah if two entire cities had less then 10 righteous people. America has millions of God fearing people that help it’s fellow man. The earth will go through a global correction, through world war. The U.S. will also be corrected and will undergo pain that could have been minimized if we had stayed true to our former national relationship with Christ. It’s mostly reap what you sow at play.
