Texas GOP may endorse 'ex-gay' therapy.

Sorry.

These people should know that Exodus International shut down for a reason. (ex gay therapy almost never works.)

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

That's too bad.

News flash: ex-gay therapy does not work.  But if you (CountryClassSF) hate being gay so much, by all means try it.  Be sure to come back and tell us all how it went.

It worked for the guy who was the basis for this.

Huh?  What guy are you talking about?

Based on my understanding, this was added to the platform by a Texas Republican who had heard an anecdote about how ex-gay therapy "helped" this one guy.

The most solid of political platforms are the ones based off of a lone anecdote.

Rick Perry was asked about this, and said that being gay was kind of like being an alcoholic... you can choose to be "sober."

We've come a long way. I used to find this kind of talk sinister, but now he sounds trapped in the 1990s.

Rick Perry is often thought to be gay....maybe he's a cured gay.

Dan Savage is a gay sex columnist writer, and is so gay he hates women. He's also the orgin of "Santorm" being a slang word for something nasty, and the founder of It Get's Better.

Why are you crossing out so many things? The "Santorum" part is his origin, and it's worth noting just as much as It Gets Better.
