PRAY THE GAY AWAY?

Unfortunately, the Oprah Wey Network’s “Our Ameri” wh Lisa Lg produced an dulgent puff-piece on “ex-gay” programs, “Pray the Gay Away”, that clud gross factual accuraci rultg om a lack of rearch and lazy reportg. Some of Lg’s mistak were prosaic, yet annoyg, such as g the term “gay liftyle”, even though the 1980’s have been over for que some time. I’m surprised she didn’t regrs even further and refer to gay people as “verts”.

Lg’s exce was that she was tryg to make the “ex-gay” activists fortable by speakg their liftyle lgo.

LISA LG ASKS: IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE BOTH GAY AND CHRISTIAN?

Lg shamefully allowed herself to be ed by Exod Internatnal, an extreme “ex-gay” group that sperately wanted an image makeover after beg tied to the adly Anti-Homosexualy Bill Uganda. Sadly, Lg never brought up that Exod board member Don Schmierer joed a Holot revisnist at a nference Kampala to drop what was lled “a nuclear bomb on the gay agenda. The enterprisg reporter also omted any reference to spirual warfare — monly known as the exorcism — that is a major part of “ex-gay” programs.
