ITALIAN RDAL LLS FOR BETTER SPIRUAL GUIDANCE FOR GAYS, LBIANS

Barbara's gay son, David, returns home wh a msage of Hope for her listeners. * spatula ministries gay son *

Like Barb, I qutned the claims EXODUS ma early on, that a gay orientatn n be ma straight. I regret stayg affiliated wh them as long as I did but after nontg one of their primary lears and spokman (who admted to still beg gay), I took my ex.

It was the two male lears of EXIT that fell love wh one another—and did not ‘ex’ beg gay or dog EXIT mistry any longer. We got ially acquated there and then we ved her to e to Nashville to speak about her experience wh Spatula, her group for parents of a gay son or dghter.

Whatever fears parents have about sayg the wrong thgs or makg the wrong cisns, Greg and Lynn McDonald will not be shocked at all. By their own acunt, they ma every mistake possible when they learned their 17-year-old son, Greg Jr., is gay. * spatula ministries gay son *

(Spatula bee she said she had to scrape the parents off the ceilg wh a spatula of love when they learned of their son or dghter beg gay). From there on, sce I was unselg men alg wh beg gay and she the parents we ‘talked shop’ fairly often parg not. We alt wh mon tratns of servg the gay populatn… rembled a me field.

She was cirticized by the vanguards of the Christian Right for not takg the ‘healg homosexuals’ approach. As I told Bard, “There is a mounta range of ‘unanswered’ prayers heaven om men and women tryg to ‘pray the gay away’”, and they remaed gay” another note Barbara said: “You know I’ve been cricized for not tellg parents at the onset that their kid won’t change—that the orientatn don’t change. They have a gay son.
