I’ve re-enabled Ex-Gay Watch on my blogroll and added Beyond Ex-Gay to it. I disabled (basically just commented out) Ex-Gay Watch after they shut down. Now they’re back because the darkness is roaring back. The link is a bit different so if you have it bookmarked use the one in my blogroll. I’ve added Beyond Ex-Gay after reading the last passages in Boy Erased and being horrified all over again at what was being done to so many young hearts.<\/p>\n
Boy Erased…I finally got my way to the end of it the other day. Christ that was a difficult read<\/em>…especially those last few pages where the kid curls up in a ball and has a breakdown in his mother’s car and she’s scared to death that he’s going to kill himself and finally decides he’s not going back to Love In Action.<\/p>\n The author of Boy Erased mentioned Beyond Ex-Gay at the end of his book and I realized I hadn’t added it to my blogroll, probably because it’s a private community of survivors and I am not a survivor of ex-gay therapy (just of the ongoing torrent of hate directed at all of us). But others can read the stories they’ve posted and I strongly recommend that to everyone who might be wondering if there isn’t something to it after all.<\/p>\n Yes there is. Evil. The worst kind of evil. The kind of evil that thinks itself righteous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve re-enabled Ex-Gay Watch on my blogroll and added Beyond Ex-Gay to it.
