Ex-Gay Books Banned
Written By : Dave Blount

One reason liberals hate Christianity so frenetically is that it teaches us that we can overcome sin and find redemption. According to moonbat ideology, we are hapless victims who cannot be held accountable for our own behavior. The idea that we have free will is heresy to progressives, so it is no surprise that books about ex-gays are getting banned by public school libraries:

Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays (PFOX) says there’s an entire community of people across the world who say that their sexual orientation changed from gay to straight. But they’re not getting their message out, the group says, because libraries across the country refuse to carry literature that describes these experiences or any studies that support them.

So a book like “My Genes Made Me Do It!: A Scientific Look at Sexual Orientation” — which argues that sexuality is shaped by a variety of factors, not just biological — can’t get a spot on the school library shelf.

Neither can “You Don’t Have to Be Gay,” which describes author Jeff Konrad’s struggle to overcome his unwanted same-sex attractions.

If you want to see your book on school shelves, you have to take a very different point of view — i.e., you have to promote homosexuality to children.

“Baby Be-Bop,” the coming-out story of a gay teen, which includes descriptions of his sexual encounters in bathroom stalls with men he never talks to, makes the stacks.

So does “Love & Sex: Ten Stories of Truth,” which describes a gay teen’s relationship with his tutor with excerpts like: “Matt had one leg locked between mine, so that his d— was smashed between his stomach and my thigh. And as his hand jerked up and down on me his hips humped with the same rhythm.”

PFOX Executive Director Regina Griggs turned to the American Library Association for help. After all, the ALA has been promoting its annual Banned Books Week, devoted to shining a light on “the harms of censorship by spotlighting actual or attempted bannings of books across the United States” and advancing the Library Bill of Rights, according to which:

• Libraries should provide materials and information presenting all points of view on current and historical issues. Materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.

• Libraries should challenge censorship in the fulfillment of their responsibility to provide information and enlightenment.

• Libraries should cooperate with all persons and groups concerned with resisting abridgment of free expression and free access to ideas.

But these principles only apply to books that advance the degenerate agenda. Consequently, the liberal establishment’s ALA blew off Griggs, refusing even to issue a statement opposing bans on ex-gay books. When Fox News tried to learn more, the ALA blew it off too, no doubt pleasing The Anointed One immensely.

    When I was younger, I believed homosexual behavior was learned and a choice. How else can you explain predatory homosexuals around city bus stations & public restrooms? And by that I mean those seeking the uninitiated (adolescents) for thier version of R&R.

    Later I came to believe the orientation is genetic.

    But since nature wants genetic traits are to passed on, and by definition homosexuals cannot pro-create, then the only possible explanation for that genetic trait is that it is a defect.

    So my position is that science should work for a cure. This is both humane and natural.

    The argument that homosexuality is 'normal' can only be supported by the nonsense of 'there have always been homosexuals'. Probably true.

    But there have always been cleft palates and down syndrome too and we seek to cure those birth disorders. Let's seek a cure.

    The way liberals try to flat-out deny that ex-gays exist is quite ridiculous.

    There are numerous reports (albeit mostly anecdotal) of people living for years as a heterosexual only to later "discover" that they are homosexual. The idea that the same thing couldn't possibly happen in reverse beggars belief.

    "Oh no! We can't let the idea that homosexuality isn't the be all and end all of lifestyle choices get out into the public! Must suppress! Must suppress!"

    As hard as most liberals fight to impose their ideas on everyone around them, I find it comical to watch them scramble like ants when anyone else challenges their orthodoxy. And it is orthodoxy in precisely the same sense as would be used by any other religion. Yes, I just said that liberalism is a religion to many of its adherents. They take the tenets of liberalism on faith; they evangelise and proselytise their beliefs; they condemn those who don't follow the faith; they have their rituals to follow.

    Homosexual activists used to place a lot of hope and faith in genetic research coming up with "proof" that they were a legitimate genotype and not responsible for their life choices. But when the brightest of them figured out that if homosexuality could be pinned down to a gene or group of genes, then it could be eradicated through genetic manipulation, thus placing homosexuals at risk of being systematically phased out of society. It was at about that time that the homosexual activists stopped being so supportive of genetic research and started with the militant "we're gonna force society to accept us" approach.

    Alcoholics played the same game for decades. But most of us in the treatment world figured out that it isn't something in your genes which makes you hide a bottle of Jack Daniels in your briefcase. It's a dubious lifestyle choice for which the person must hold him/herself accountable. Those who cling to the idea of an "alcoholic factor X" live in the perpetual self-delusion that they aren't responsible for what they've done with their lives. And so they never change and their misery lives on.

    Of course there are ex-gays, just as there are ex-junkies and ex-cultists. I, for the life of me, don't understand why their stories aren't as "legitimate" as anyone else's.

    The reason religious zealots deny homosexuality so vehemently is because so many priests go queer after their marriage to Hayzeus.

    Its kind of sad the hate and bigotry that exists against Christianity, but when you look into the teachings of the faith, it makes sense. Fear of God and hatred of Jesus Christ is not exactly unexpected.

    You are an ignorant, jackass. Thank you for proving that your brain is smaller than a grain of sand.
