In the aftermath of the latest battle over gay marriage in Maryland Greg Quinlan has pointed out the hypocrisy of the gay political lobbying organization – the Human Rights Campaign (HRC). “HRC’s bullying against ex-gays contradicts its claim of equality,” said Quinlan. “Why should heterosexuals be fooled by HRC’s false commitment to so-called equality?” Quinlan pointed out that while the HRC advocated for gay marriage on grounds of equality, it called on the World Bank to remove Parents and Friends of Ex-gays and Gays (PFOX) from its list of charities. The full text of the PFOX bulletin can be found at http://pfox.org/WHEN-EX-GAYS-SPEAK-LEGISLATORS-LISTEN.html.

Excerpt from Christopher Doyle’s editorial: “When Greg Quinlan, president of the board of Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays, identified himself in the Feb. 26 Metro article “Md. House plans to act fast on gay marriage,” you put quotation marks around “ex-gay.” But there were no quotation marks in references to gay members of the House of Delegates. Putting “ex-gay” in quotes suggested that such a sexual orientation is not valid, not recognized or both. But thousands of former homosexuals collectively identify themselves as such.” The full editorial can be found at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/03/04/AR2011030405804.html.

Greg Quinlan, president of Parents and Friends of Ex-gays and Gays (PFOX), spoke before the Maryland State Legislature in February of 2011 urging the legislators to stop the effort to legalize same-sex marriage in the state. His argument was both compelling and informative, backed by facts. Following are excerpts from his testimony.

“I am an ex-gay. That means a former homosexual for those of you who don’t understand the term ‘ex-gay.’ … “There is no replicated, scientific study supporting any specific biological etiology for homosexuality.” That’s a quote from the American Psychiatric Association May 2000. (more…)

The 2011 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) was boycotted by many conservative organizations because for the second year in a row CPAC included a gay activist group, GOProud , as a major participant in the conference.

Many of the organizations boycotting the conference placed a full page ad in the Washington Times denouncing CPAC’s partnership with a gay rights organization.

Despite the boycott, Parents and Friends of Ex-gays and Gays (PFOX) had their exhibit at the CPAC conference. (more…)

After four years of supporting the Day of Truth event in high schools and one year “spearheading” the event, Exodus International will no longer be involved in the Day of Truth. In a press release Exodus International president Alan Chambers stated, “Even though we have reached a fair number of students, we believe that due to the timing of the event, Day of Truth was always perceived in an adversarial manner, and became more about policy than people. That is in conflict with the mission we have chosen to embrace as an organization. We want to continue to promote dialogue and to equip Christian kids to reach out with compassion, grace and truth. We don’t need to practice this once a year, but rather every day.” The press release was still posted as of July 9, 2012 at http://exodusinternational.org/2010/11/exodus-departs-from-day-of-truth/
