The following excerpts are from Andy Comisky’s article “The Dissappearing Path” on his blog: “That God created humanity to be good gifts for each other, grateful for the other’s difference and committed to offering one’s body to him or her only as a lifetime pledge of allegiance, is a path disappearing on the earth.”

“Instead we celebrate ‘gay marriage’ and forego real marriage; we criminalize teens who seek to grow beyond their homosexuality but advocate for a child’s right to determine his or her own gender and have as much ‘consequence-free’ sex as (s)he wants by legalizing over-the-counter contraceptives. We champion the demonized and demonize those in search of deliverance.” (more…)

The following excerpts are from Dr. Susan Berry’s article “Black Pastors Organization Condemns Persecution of Christians over Traditional Values” on Brietbart.com: “An association of African-American pastors has condemned Washington, D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray and the organizers of the Martin Luther King 50th Anniversary Memorial concert for disinviting a New Jersey gospel singer and pastor from the concert because he is a reformed homosexual and an outspoken advocate for marriage between a man and a woman.”

“‘It is appalling and embarrassing that Mayor Gray and others would discriminate against someone who holds traditional views that break from some in the current black leadership, especially for an event marking the legacy of Martin Luther King,’ said Rev. William Owens, president of the Coalition of African-American Pastors (CAAP). Owens organized students during the civil rights movement and marched with King.” (more…)

The Following excerpt is from Nicola Menzie’s article “Pastor Donnie McClurkin ‘Uninvited’ From MLK Memorial Concert Over ‘Ex-Gay’ Testimony?” on ChristianPost.com: “Donnie McClurkin, award-winning and internationally celebrated gospel recording artist and Christian minister, has claimed that he was uninvited from a MLK Memorial concert on Saturday in Washington, D.C. because Mayor Vincent C. Gray heeded the demands of gay rights activists who wanted him dropped from the event marking the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. McClurkin has previously shared that he believes God delivered him from the ‘sin of homosexuality’ and that people with unwanted same-sex attractions can change.” (more…)

The following excerpts are from the letter “it’s about Jesus,” written by Flo Hubbs, the director of Little is Much Ministries: … “As Director of Little is Much I stand on the Bible as God’s word and truth. It was Jesus who set me free, I am saddened with the closing of Exodus. I have met some wonderful people through several Exodus events.”

“Two years ago I began to see a difference of Biblical viewpoints with the Executive Leadership of Exodus. After much prayer and discussion with my board of directors it was felt the ministry of Little is Much should be removed from the Exodus Church Association.” (more…)

The following excerpt is from the D.L. Foster’s article “Narrative of an American EXhomosexual” on the Gay Christian Movement Watch website: “… Slave owners cited ‘science and research’ as a legitimate reason to deny slaves freedom. They produced numerous self serving ‘studies’ (written by proslavery professionals) to proof text their wicked ideology.”

“If you’ve noticed, gay activists religiously cite the American Psychological Association’s no change doctrine as irreversible proof that no homosexual can change. If they do, it’s theorized, such a person will be emotionally damaged even to the point of suicide. Or you will also hear this: ‘you can change your behavior, but you can’t change your orientation’. These ridiculous assertions have become the basis of passing unjust laws and prohibiting counselors from helping people who want to escape the gay life plantation. So why not just tell blacks gays that change is impossible so they can life a happy life as a slave?” (more…)

Following is an excerpt from Floyd Godfrey’s testimony on the People Can Change website: “I learned [at an Evergreen conference in Salt Lake City] that I hadn’t been able to pray away my homosexual attractions because they were not, at their roots, a spiritual problem. The unwanted attractions were symptoms of emotional problems that I needed to resolve, not be relieved of. I hadn’t been able to force opposite-sex attractions because my more basic, core need for male identity and masculine affirmation had not yet been met adequately. Until I felt fully masculine, I would never feel “man enough” for a woman.”

In an essay entitled “The Arguments Against Change” Rabbi Daniel Meir Horowitz analyzed four arguments against sexual orientation change: 1. Homosexuality is genetic; 2. Sexual orientation change won’t work; 3. Sexual orientation change is discriminatory; and 4; Sexual orientation change is expensive. Following is his conclusion: “In conclusion, it appears that there is no logical reason for recrimination against those who choose to change. No peer-reviewed study (or any study, for that matter) has proven reparative therapy to be totally ineffective. So long as someone goes into it with a clear motivation, an understanding of the probable outcomes and a commitment to do what is necessary, who are we to impugn them? There are no universal truths for what works best for every person. Let us allow those who choose to be gay to live in peace, and let us allow those who choose to attempt change to live in peace as well. And most importantly, let us allow all those who are undecided to know of BOTH options, so that they can make informed choices for themselves.”
