Finally: A Hollywood Film about Leaving Homosexuality
American Thinker ^ | 03/01/2017 | Kurt Wayne

Posted on 03/01/2017 11:00:24 AM PST by SeekAndFind

We know too well how many lies the American left has perpetrated on the world.  Christian readers here understand that Jesus Himself told us that lies are the primary weapons the enemy of our souls uses.  Yet guess how extravagantly the LGBTQ community has been lied to.

So much so that in 2013, crusaders against reparative therapy (counseling for those who do not want same-sex romantic attractions) in New Jersey had as their star witness a troubled, precious person who, in front of the state Senate, recounted her time allegedly spent in an ex-gay camp that in reality (using the term loosely) was apparently fabricated from a 1999 movie.  You read that right: a 1999 RuPaul movie.  And the Senate, along with Gov. Chris Christie, fell for it!

That's why it is so simultaneously amazing and refreshing that there is now a film out called I Am Michael, based on the true story of Michael Glatze, who left his gay identity over a decade ago and has since become a pastor and married.  According to World Net Daily, neither the cast nor the initial exposure to the film is obscure:

Boasting A-list actors James Franco, Zachary Quinto and Emma Roberts – with a cameo by Darryl Hannah – "I Am Michael" debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in February 2015 but was released for distribution just three weeks ago.

In addition, the film's subject, Mr. Glatze, wasn't just a garden-variety activist:

After becoming editor of Young Gay America magazine at age 22, Glatze received numerous awards and recognition, including the National Role Model Award from the major homosexual-rights organization Equality Forum. Media gravitated toward him, leading to appearances on PBS television and MSNBC ;

You can bet on:
No grammy awards.
No golden globe awards.
No write-ups in the NYTimes/Post, etc.
Radical activists condemning it.

Awards are not about talent or quality. They are about how much the film adheres to official leftist dogma.

As you can expect, Michael Glatze is hounded, demonized, harassed and excoriated non-stop by the sodomites, their handlers, and supporter, for simply making his own choice.

You can bet on not seeing it as there is a LOT of erotic action between men before the conversion in the movie.

Just to give FReepers a heads up. See the trailer and that should cancel seeing it for you.

Zach Quinto is one of the biggest fag rights guys in Hollywood. I’m still scratching my head why he did this movie in the first place.

Momma always used to say that young men just got into a
nasty habit & had a real hard time breaking that habit. -
It takes 21 days to break a habit. If you’ve got a habit,
devote 21 days to breaking it - smoking, overeating,
gossiping, buggering - you name it. Twenty-one days. Hop
to it!

A lot of the trouble is that boys, and girls, are a lot of
times raised by parents who can’t show affection; so they
go through life, from “partner” to “partner”, trying to fill
that void.

OK something here does not compute. These do not sounds like actor that would be found within a million miles of a story of Gay going straight.... Zachary Quinto is gay for God’s sake... just a politically correct Article of Faith for the left that you’re born gay and you’re stuck gay

Zach Quinto is a proud gay man.

Yes, I noticed that in the trailer. That explains why Hollywood made it and the review notes it is a confused movie. Too bad, we need lots of movies about ex-gay subjects that don't contain unnecessary scenes only placed there to shock the audience.

If you have to do that you haven't made a good movie.

Uh, Quinto might get best supporting with his sensitive portrayal of a gay man.

“Zach Quinto is a proud gay man.”

I think he means that Zach doesn’t have anything to prove. I’d probably agree with him in that respect.

I bet the word “sin” is never used in the movie.

ONE of the greatest harms the “gay” agenda does is the “Born This Way” meme.

Just because the process as it occurred from mental baby steps to bigger steps is a PROCESS that seems to the individual (later on) to be one that “has always been there”, ignores the legitimate psychological argument that could suggest to the YOUNG person to (1) question the process, (2) decide to quit entertaining it.

The problem is that just like dozens of other mental attributes everyone has, it becomes impossible to name when in time it became part of the personality. That does not mean we were “born with” any of those things. It is all a shaping while “growing up”, in which the individual is the primary participant but acting not without reactions to other persons and events.

Saying we are all “born with” our personality, all of it or any of it, says even from the tiniest of our infancy, nothing developed, by maturity, from choices we made - even tiny (at the time) seemingly insignificant (at the time) choices - it is all predetermined. That is not “scientific”.

Merely “accepting” the result of earlier choices (even be they “subconscious’ ones at the time) does not provide an “honesty” that says “don’t question it” just “accept it”.

Yes, true enough, having some happiness by ending internal mental anguish and argument over a path already taken can happen and be accepted by many people for all kinds of reasons. It’s something humans do with all kinds of mental and social conflicts. And simply declaring it “resolved” can do that too. O.K., but the “gay” community should quit the lie of “Born this way” and using it to deny young folk the right and possibility of questioning that path early on.

Buying a barf bag?

Yes, but I still cannot WAIT to see this..!

And all the exploding gay heads.

HOW can these actors (and everyone involved) expect to still have a future in Hollywood...?

I cannot imagine anything that would infuriate them more.
