There was a big article on gay teens in Time Magazine recently. It discussed some of Exodus's new tactics at length. It scared me to see how they're evolving a kinder, gentler approach. Exodus seriously fucked up my life by being so nice.
Imagine a place where you can finally talk about the feelings you have kept locked inside all these years, and the people around you will understand, men can even hug, and you don't have to feel ashamed....
To say nothing of their overuse of the graven image of the pink triangle all over their site.
And the fact that half of their links don't work, including the ones that are supposed to contain the biographical sketches of the happy couple.
I can't take any of these programs seriously until they can go the full monty and find me an actual woman I want to settle down with. This "you can go straight in a vague, general way, like we claim this guy did" is too diffuse. They need to set up an honest-to-God dating service. Show me an ACTUAL hot Christian chick who wants to move in with me, dammit. Oh, and she needs to like bear bars, be a political liberal, enjoy science fiction movies and long walks in the country, have a career and mind of her own, and not wear nearly as much tacky jewelry as Miss Irene here.
I mean, I'm all for girls, but please, one does have some standards.
The pink triangle? But Pete, didn't you hear? The new ex-gay is fun! We can probably even find you a wife who likes sci-fi and country walks. But remember, no more adultery!
Nah, she has to be a political liberal and a bear fan *and polyamorous, too.* Sorry. They're only trying to make me straight, they haven't said a thing about adultery, and if they want to start, they need to work on the straight polyamorists first. Fair's fair.
But seriously, this hot chick has to have ALL the qualities. I mean, why would I trade DOWN from any of the existing women I know to a less wonderful version?
As for "the new ex-gay is fun" ... oh, most assuredly, but if *lifelong* straight men can be metrosexualized by the Fab Five, and start working on better style, so can these ex-homo straight guys and their missuses. Being a Christian is no excuse for bad taste. Jesus would NOT approve.

Despite the camp element of the graphics, my heart lurches at the thought of the lives these people destroy with their insidious, seductive words.

Er, doesn't that break one of the Commandments?
