OH HOLY SHIT! Exodus Christian Ministry Doubles In Size

Its so sad to see an organization like Exodus Ministries doubling in size. Exodus makes people hate who they are. We all know that you need to love yourself for who you are. These people want to change everything about you.

They even have a chapter named "Exodus Youth". The teen years are some of the hardest years that a person has to go through. Even more so for a gay teen. There is not alot of support for many gay teens. Yet, there are alot of people out there that tell them they are going to die of Aids and are going to hell. Exodus Youth is one of the worst.

Gay teens have significantly higher rates of both attempts and thoughts of suicide. In his study on gay teen suicide, Patrick Healy concluded that gay teens are "five times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers"(2001). As reported in "Lesbian News", "these youth account for 35% of the American population and 15% of all suicide deaths"(Ocamb 2001). Of the 4,000 students who were surveyed in 1997, 40 percent out of the 10 percent of high school students who attempted suicide were gay. For many gay teens their everyday existence can cause severe psychological damage. When they are at school they are taunted and harassed, and at home if they are not "out" they have the constant fear of "what would my parents say if they new I was gay?" Both of these situations can cause considerable stress on a teen, especially since they have to go through the other stressful problems that all their peers go through. The school environment can be a very unsafe and scary place for an "out" gay teen. Many times they are beaten-up and called names like "fag" "queer" and "dyke". In a survey done last year by the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) on 496 gay adolescents "69 percent of gay students reported having been targets of verbal, physical or sexual harassment in school, and that 42 percent said they had been physically assaulted."(Portner 2000) Via Kristin Johnson

Exodus Youth thrives on teens because they have feelings and thoughts that they can not yet understand. Exodus Youth swoops down ,like an angel from heaven, then destroys everything that makes these kids who they really are. They brain wash these poor teens into thinking that what they feel is wrong and a sin. They twist and turn the words of the bible and spit them in the eye of these teens blinding them from the truth. The turmoil that these kids have to go through is so painfull, that many of them end of taking their own lives. All because these gay hating, self-righteous fucks, think they know all, because they "know" God.

Now they are clamming that Exodus has doubled in numbers. Their websight says "In the last six years, the organization has grown from 117 member agencies in 2003 to 234 by 2009."

They claim that they reach over 300,000 people a year, "with a message of hope and freedom through conference events and personal communication with those who call the organization for help each year."

I would like to know how many of the 300,000 people they communicate with try to kill themselves. Organizations like this one should be brought down. We need to start the fight where they began it, With our youth. We need to teach the truth, not the twisted truth. Please if you know a teen that is struggling with being gay or any life problem sit down with them and talk to them. Most importantly listen to them.

The Trials Of Ted Haggard

Ted Haggard has teamed up with Alexandra Pelosi, daughter of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, to make a documentary about the life and down fall of the former pastor. It is set to air Jan. 29 on HBO. Ted Haggard nor Alexandra Pelosi have commented on the film.

I can't wait to see the film. I only hope Pelosi does not back off and keeps it real.

Openly Gay Bishop Opens Inaugural Weekend

The Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire, who was elected the Episcopal Church’s first openly gay bishop in 2003, will deliver the invocation for Sunday’s kickoff inaugural event on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, the Presidential Inaugural Committee said.

President-elect Obama is scheduled to attend the afternoon event, which is free and open to the public.

“The president-elect has respect for the Rt. Rev. Robinson, who offered his advice and counsel over the past couple of years,” an inaugural official said. “It also has the benefit of further reinforcing our commitment to an open and inclusive inaugural.”

Last summer, Robinson was united in a civil union with his longtime gay partner. The Concord (N.H.) Monitor reported at the time: “The day marked the five-year anniversary of the New Hampshire election that, once ratified, made Robinson the first openly gay bishop in the Anglican church.”

Robinson’s bio on the diocese website says: “Gene enjoys entertaining and cooking, gardening, music and theater. He is the father of two grown daughters and the proud grandfather of two granddaughters. He lives with his partner, Mark Andrew, who is employed by the State of New Hampshire's Department of Safety.”

NBA's John Amaechi Comes Out

I am happy for Amaechi for being open and honest. what I do not understand is, why do all athletes wait until after their career to come out? I know they are afraid of losing their job or even worse, but we all are. We need an athlete to come out while they are still playing. Rats off to ya Amaechi! wish you would have done it 3 years earlier.

In a groundbreaking revelation that began to reverberate around the NBA on Wednesday, former player John Amaechi has become the first professional basketball player to openly identify himself as gay.

Amaechi, who played at Penn State and spent five seasons in the NBA with Orlando, Utah and Cleveland, comes out in an upcoming book entitled "Man in the Middle" to be released later this month by ESPN Books (owned by the Walt Disney Company, parent company of ESPN).


Martina Navratilova, perhaps the most famous openly gay athlete in the world, praised Amaechi's decision and said it's imperative for athletes to come out because of what she called an epidemic of suicides among young lesbians and gays.

"It's hugely important for the kids so they don't feel alone in the world. We're role models. We're adults, and we know we're not alone but kids don't know that," she said. "He will definitely help a lot of kids growing up to feel better about themselves."

Three years after his playing career ended, Amaechi become the sixth professional male athlete from one of the four major American sports (NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL) to publicly discuss his homosexuality.

"What John did is amazing," said Tuaolo, who came out in 2002. "He does not know how many lives he's saved by speaking the truth."

Tuaolo said coming out would be a relief to Amaechi.

"Living with all that stress and that depression, all you deal with as a closeted person, when you come out you really truly free yourself,'' Tuaolo said. "When I came out, it felt like I was getting out of prison."

I dont mean to make this less than what it is. I feel, though, if he would have came out when he was still with the NBA he could have saved many more lives. I am proud that he came out, but it is like a 35 year old man with 2 kids coming out, its to late.

John Smoltz Turns His Back On Atlanta

This is not a Gay issue, but I love the Braves. I can not believe that Smoltz is turning his back on the Braves and going to the Red Sox.

Smoltz, 41, has reached a preliminary agreement with the Red Sox on a $5.5 million contract, according to major-league sources. The deal is pending a physical, which is slated for Monday.

The deal also will include $5 million in incentives, giving Smoltz the chance to earn a total of $10.5 million, sources said.

With Smoltz, who is coming off shoulder surgery, the Red Sox would have six veteran starters.

Smoltz has been with the Braves organization since August 12, 1987, when the team acquired him from the Tigers for pitcher Doyle Alexander. The team entered the offseason planning to reconstruct its rotation and then re-sign Smoltz and free-agent lefthander Tom Glavine if they were still available.

Glavine, unlike Smoltz, is unwilling to play for any team but the Braves.

With Smoltz coming off major surgery, the Braves were not inclined to guarantee him significant doll

"I was going to withhold comment until the announcement of my signing with a new team, but I now feel the need to clear up any misconceptions and inaccuracies about the contract negotiations between myself and the Atlanta Braves," Smoltz said in a statement released by his agency. "There were large discrepancies between the offer from the Braves and offers from other teams. I have always loved the city of Atlanta, and it will always be my home. I will cherish my 21 years with Bobby Cox and all my Braves' teammates. I continue to wish the Atlanta Braves nothing but success in the future."

I always believed that John played the game because he loved to play. Now, we all see his true color, green. It will be said to see the Braves start the season with out him, but maybe we will have a pitcher that will not be on the bench most of the season. Good luck, Red Sox, on Keeping him healthy.
