Tolerant Homosexuals Intolerant Of Ex-Gays

--- Tolerant Homosexuals Intolerant of Ex-Gays By Bill Fancher February 11, 2005

In this day of "tolerance," a pro-family activists says there is one group that is never tolerated by those who consider themselves politically correct: "ex-gays."

Following a "Gay Pride Week" observance, a Virginia school system rejected the idea of allowing ex-homosexuals to address its student body.  Bob Knight of the Culture and Family Institute says "ex-gays" seem to have no standing at all.

"People who have overcome homosexuality -- who thought they were born gay and couldn't change and then realized that they could -- are said to be non-existent," Knight says.  "They're continually blocked from public access."

Knight says one can find the same discrimination of former homosexuals at the television network level as well.  "The networks have had a problem for years because homosexual activists have used veto power in terms of who is booked for programs," he explains.  "I myself have experienced that.  I've been scheduled to go on network programs with Stephen Bennett and other former homosexuals, and I was told that a segment that had been scheduled was now cancelled because the homosexual activists refused to go on [the program] with an ex-gay." Bennett, an outspoken former homosexual who now heads a Christian ministry, was scheduled recently to be on Good Morning America to discuss an upcoming controversial PBS broadcast.  He was slated to appear with two lesbians in a GMA segment, but they informed the network they would not appear with Bennett.  He believes he was booted from the program because of the lesbians' "intolerance and bigotry" toward him for being a former homosexual. "[Homosexual activists] just don't dare allow ex-gays to have a platform," says Knight.

Knight, who is not an ex-homosexual, challenges the homosexual agenda and debates it often, wherever he is allowed to appear.

If this new HIV virus is as bad as advertised, then Gays will have to launch a new public opinion offensive to hide the truth about the awful effects of their life-style.

Well of course not!

It blows their "We were just born this way" boat completely out of the water!

If this new HIV virus is as bad as advertised, it could be only a matter of time until the gay community disappears.

I have a few gay friends in academia. The most politically correct position is that gender is "socially constructed" rather than fixed, and that you can choose whatever gender you want to be. A queer theorist I know up at Rochester has had a terrible time because the official position in the academy is that "homosexuality" as such was a nineteenthy century invention, and therefore there was no such thing as homosexuals earlier--only people who happened to like engaging in homosexual acts.

He has written articles demonstrating that there WERE homosexuals in the 16th and 17th century, among them one of the kings of France, and that has made him persona non grata with the PC establishment.

So, evidently you can choose whatever you want to be, except that gays are no longer allowed to choose to be straight.

It seems rather like Islam. You are welcome to convert to Islam, but you will be killed if you try to convert FROM Islam. No wonder the leftists are so congenial working with Muslim terrorists.

No that would be hell hath no fury like a fairy scorned. Each 'ex' that accrues only point to the fallacies of their reasons. PC BS of the American Psychiatric Association says it's not an illness was one of the first moves of the PC movement. It went downhill from there.

I'll never forget the first (and last)gay pride parade I saw, living in Chicago in the early 80's. It was in the way of my crossing the street to my apartment. Dumbfounded, I watched as a float-born group of boisterous, and menacing would-be miscreants,yelled to the crowd, "JOIN US!! JOIN US!!"

Apparently that was before the gay movement decided that 'born gay' was a better strategery.

What was it that a newspaper once said about John Maynard Keynes?

"Even higher sodomy is bound by the laws of supply and demand".

It was a referance to Keynes getting married.

I was thinking the same thing, instantly upon reading the headline. Thanks for mentioning the fascism/mafia angle.

And not just in France. The Stuart James I who succeeded Elizabeth I of England was reportedly "queer as six fingers."

"People who have overcome homosexuality -- who thought they were born gay and couldn't change and then realized that they could -- are said to be non-existent," Knight says.

So... a man who makes a living publicly hating on gays says that homosexuals are intolerant? hehe. make me laugh and gag at the same time!

Here's an idea, if you think sex with another man is disgusting... then don't have sex with other men and mind your own business.

A homosexual agenda ping list? Shouldn't ping lists be the sort of thing used for topics that actually generate some semblance of intelligent debate? The only debate here is whether queers should be shot or castrated.

Here's an idea. If you have unnatural physical activity (it's not sex) with men mind you own business. STFU and keep it to yourself and don't try to shove your lifestyle down others throats like you shove things down other mens throats.
