About Me

The ex-gay movement is a civil rights movement to ensure the inclusion of former homosexuals in all realms of society. Ex-gays and their supporters should not have to be closeted for fear of other’s negative reactions or disapproval. They do not think something is wrong with them because they decided to fulfill their heterosexual potential. Nor do they believe others should condemn them for the personal decision they have made for their lives. Because of the abuse heaped upon them by society, former homosexuals experience discrimination at every level. When a gay marries an opposite sex partner, that ex-gay is ridiculed by former friends. Ex-gays find heterosexuals also reject them if their past is known because "Once gay, always gay" is assumed. While gays can come out of the "closet," ex-gays are forced to stay in theirs because of public prejudice. While gays gain sympathy as victims, ex-gays are criticized and face life-long intolerance for simply existing as living proof that homosexuality is not innate.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

PFOX provides support for families and public awareness for the community at large regarding the decision to leave homosexuality. Each year thousands of men, women and teens make that personal decision to leave homosexuality. However, there are those who refuse to respect that choice. Consequently, formerly gay persons are reviled simply because they dare to exist! Founded in 1998, PFOX provides outreach, education and support to gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgendered men, women and teens who are struggling with same sex attractions and want to change. Without PFOX, former homosexuals, lesbians, bi-sexuals and transgendered persons would have no voice in such a hostile environment. Find out more about the PFOX at www.pfox.org

Music:

Be sure to download our PFOX brochures, flyers and posters for distribution to public schools, churches, universities, libraries, exhibit booths, counselor’s officers, diversity centers, and anywhere you see gay literature. Inclusion of the ex-gay message is the way to spread the word that change is possible and tolerance for those who have changed is necessary. PFOX brochures are appropriate for secular settings too. See for yourself at www.pfox.org
under DOWNLOAD.
