Ahh... the soft sweet sound of tolerance and love by Jesus Christ whispering through a grassy field.

Whoops, forgot tolerance from Jesus only works for certain people.

(And oh yeah, if you actually believe that, you are many things... but Christian isn't one of them.)

I love the "ex-gay" myth. What a bunch of delusional people. They just talk themselves into it being a lifestyle rather than a sexual orientation.

Dateline NBC did an interesting study on pack mentality. They reported on some interesting research at some American universities that indicate that if a person is surrounded by one particular mentality enough, their biological pack mentality kicks in and can quite literally, change their perception of the world... even when they know their initial perception was right and their new perception wrong.

Effectively, that's what these anti-gay groups are doing to some unfortunate trapped souls.

It's just bigots clouding hatred with religion. The thought that people can be swayed one way or the other is nuts.

Remember folks - don't let little Benny watch too much Lizzie McGuire or he will wear dresses too.
