EX-GAY IS HERE TO STAY

If “ex-gays” exist, this means that people n change their sexual orientatn — and this means that the foundatn the homosexual rights movement, the ia that they are “born that way” and th nnot help themselv, go right out the wdow. Many ex-gays are aaid to e out of the closet bee of the harassment they will receive — their nam, phone numbers and personal rmatn posted on gay webs, attacked at ex-gay exhib booths, prs releas issued agast them, etc. ”3 This is an odd assertn, sce a tailed review of homosexual obuari showed several exampl of men who were happily married, who had children, and who nsired themselv “straight” sudnly abandong their fai and embracg the homosexual “liftyle.

But the “scientific” methods ed this study would make any legimate rearcher crge; the “study” managers did not terview a large group of “ex-gays;” they simply sought out people who claimed that they had been harmed (an tensive procs that took a full five years) and then nmned such therapy. Now may be impractil to “nvert” totally om homosexualy to heterosexualy, but if unselg n allow a gay man to rpond sexually to women, should be enuraged and appld, not lambasted or lampooned.

Acrdgly, 2011, after I worked wh a group of several hundred Christians who hand out 2, 500 bottl of “J Lov You” water at a gay pri event Charlotte, North Carola, Wayne brand me an “anti-gay monster.

NETFLIX’S “PRAY AWAY” CONONTS THE LI OF THE EX-GAY MOVEMENT

Como cribió Stott en su libro Issu Facg Christians Today [Cutn que aontan los cristianos hoy] en 1982: «En toda disción sobre la homosexualidad bemos ser rigurosos al diferenciar entre “ser” y “hacer”, cir, entre la intidad y la actividad una persona, la preferencia sexual y la prácti sexual, la nstución y la nducta». En Estados Unidos, mientras los disturbs Stonewall en 1969 en Nueva York anunciaban el nacimiento l movimiento por los rechos los homosexual, los prottant ortodoxos ya se preguntaban qué visión posiva dan las Escruras a las personas que son homosexual. El libro publido bajo un sdónimo por InterVarsy Prs 1970 The Returns of Love: Letters of a Christian Homosexual [Las vueltas l amor: Cartas un homosexual cristiano] trazó una trategia cuidado y fue promovido por Stott.

Schaeffer previó mbs cultural signifitivos cuando, en 1978, una ngregación la Iglia Prberiana Ortodoxa San Francis se enntró n una manda tras haber spedido a un empleado gay que había vlado el código nducta la iglia. Como enfatizó Stott tan apasnadamente en su libro, la persona gay que sigue a Jús be vivir por fe, peranza y amor: fe, tanto en la gracia Ds, o en s tatutos; peranza, que surge ver más allá ta vida prente llena luchas y voltear la vista hacia nutra gloria futura; y el amor por el que bemos vivir, explicó, el amor que bemos recibir Cristo y la faia pirual Cristo, cir, la iglia. El libro 1978 l historiador la Iglia, Richard Lovelace, Homosexualy and the Church [La homosexualidad y la Iglia], recibió el apoyo lumarias evangélis o Ken Kantzer (antiguo edor CT), Elisabeth Ellt, Chuck Colson, Harold Ockenga y Carl F.

En primer lugar, requeriría que los cristianos gays tuvieran la valentía nfar [renocer] su orientación abiertamente y obecer el claro mandato bíbli apartarse la prác la homosexualidad activa. El patroc por parte la iglia homosexual abiertamente clarados, pero arrepentidos, en putos lirazgo, sería un profundo ttimon para el mundo sobre el por l Evangel para liberar a la iglia la homofobia, y al homosexual la culpa y la clavud.
