PFOX’s Regina Griggs responds to criticism of meeting with Kevin Jennings
August 2, 2011
Excerpt from Regina Griggs’ article in the Summer PFOX (Parents and Friends of Ex-gays and Gays) letter:
– “There are times when it becomes necessary to remove my PFOX hat and become just a mom. It’s not easy to shift gears and be a good listener, and not interject; it’s something I have to work at. …
I wanted Kevin to recognize that PFOX families want a respectful and open relationship, one that allows for dialogue. … Kevin agreed that no child should be bullied, including ex-gays. …
To me Kevin is like any of our children who made the decision to live life as an open homosexual and gay activist. Perhaps by meeting us a spark was lit and we are not who he perceived us to be.”
