  1. What would make a queer activist walk away from the identity, relationships, and political commitments that once defined his life?
    That question sits at the center of I Am Michael, a film directed by Justin Kelly based on the real-life story of Michael Glatze. Glatze was a former gay-rights activist and magazine editor who later renounced homosexuality and became a Christian pastor.

  3. #ExGay Visibility Day? Fuck off with that shit. Any organisation supporting nonsense like that ought to be locked up for supporting mental trauma. #CatholicChurch has caused enough damage to the LGBTQ as it is. We have pride moth, because of people like them!

  4. "'This study shows that if you are feeling that kind of visceral reaction to an outgroup, ask yourself, "Why?" co-author Richard Ryan, a professor of psychology at the University of Rochester, said in a statement. 'Those intense emotions should serve as a call to self-reflection.'

    'Sometimes people are threatened by gays and lesbians because they are fearing their own impulses, in a sense they "doth protest too much,"' Ryan told LiveScience."

  5. "People who are so obsessed with homosexuality, to the point of being deeply involved in promoting 'ex-gay' therapy as well as leading such efforts, are often trying to suppress something about themselves. …

    A study of implicit bias published in 2012 concluded what many of us long thought: the most strident homophobes are often closeted homosexuals:"

  6. CW: Did you attend religious anti-queer conversion therapy

    Looking for fellow #fediverse travelers who undertook sexual orientation and/or gender identity change efforts through religious #exgay #extrans #conversiontherapy groups.

    edit I should also state that I was not only a participant in such, but I also worked in a paid leadership role in an organisation that had change efforts as a secondary part of its'therapeutic' ministry. Knowing of my former participation may well be too much for you to want to interact with me, and I understand that.

  7. Rosaria Butterfield, a self-hating “ex-gay”, says she “publicly sinned” by using “transgender pronouns” and she has written an article repenting for the “sin” of using the correct pronouns to refer to transgender people. She is repenting for not misgendering transgender people. She is repenting for wanting “to meet everyone where they were and do nothing to provoke insult.”
    She is repenting for being kind.

  8. The CHANGED Movement is conversion therapy by another name. Their website claims that “Many in our community have experienced a decrease in same-sex desires and a longing for opposite sex relationships.”
    This is conversion therapy. It doesn’t have to involve electrocution to be conversion therapy.
