Reply #67: I know an 'ex-gay' and...

[apnu]

... he's the sorriest excuse for a human being I've ever seen. He's gone the whole fundie route, goes to these conventions all the time, and just gets worse as the years go on. He used to be kind and a all around nice guy. Now he's bitter, mean, and emotionally constipated. He seems to be in a constant state of self-loathing and regret. Not to mention, he spends a disturbing amount of time trying to belittle and criticize other friends we have on how they raise their children. (he goes off on this whole Harry Potter rant that gets really ugly) And on top of all that, he's gotten really weird.

He still lives with his ex-partner who he drags to church. And another gay man who actually owns the house they live in. He also has a daughter, which he abandoned decades ago, and was just getting back into her life when he was 'born again.' Now she's rejected him because of his attempts to convert her, and he's taken this i-don't-care track about her that makes him even more glum.

When he starts preaching its like having Eeyore deliver sermons -- only not at all cute. He's the unhappiest person I've ever seen.
