The one thing I can’t write about

For a time during my pre-teen and teen years, I was involved with Operation Rescue. Been there, done that, have the t-shirts (t-shirts I can’t bring myself to throw away). I’ve tried time and again over the years to sit down and write about that time in my life and I can’t do it. Not […]

No, Marvin Olasky, the DOMA ruling doesn’t mean you’ll soon have to chose between silence or jail

Perhaps I’m just a glutton for punishment, but every so often I feel the need to check out what one-time trustee at my alma mater, editor-in-chief of World Magazine (who would use that position to write thinly-veiled screeds about Covenant turning liberal), author of the Newt Gingrich-pimped The Tragedy of American Compassion (and of the super racist, orientalist, […]

Also, after watching the video of his comments (skip to the 19 minute mark) to the Exodus conference telling the attendees that Exodus […]

Well, that just made my night. Exodus International is shutting down

I was walking home from work this evening when I checked my Twitter feed and saw that Alan Chambers, the president of Exodus International, the biggest and oldest ex-gay organization, had issued an apology to the LGBTQ community for the way that Exodus had hurt people. The apology came with a promise that an announcement […]
