Ex-gay-for-pay Alan Chambers of Exodus on Montel (+)
by: pam

Daniel Gonzales sent me a link to this video of Alan Chambers spouting the usual ex-gay nonsense on The Montel Williams show; Montel isn't buying it -- he catches Chambers dissembling about the mission of Exodus (about liberating people from homosexuality) by throwing screenshots of its web site in his face.

Edited title for clarity

1. Homosexuals: Montel--Is There a Cure?
That'd make a more interesting piece.

7. you need to watch the clip before you make a comment
although, i must say that the title is a bit misleading; i was expecting montel to believe homosexuality is a disease, and almost didn't watch it myself; but as someone who doesn't like to speak before i know what the heck i am talking about i decided to watch it. Maybe you should learn to do the same thing so you don't look like a moron.

4. I'd have liked to see more of what that kid had to say.
But for people who didn't watch the clip, Montel is definitely not in favor of the ex-gay camps and does a pretty good job here.

6. Click thru to Pam's blog LeftyMom, there is more info and clips there
And you nailed it - Montel didn't let any of the "Pray the Gay Away" crowd get away with any of their normal BS

5. To quote Peter Pace, "it's immoral"
This subject should not be an issue with the knowledge we now have concerning homosexual tendencies. Peter should not be a leader of our military when he has such views. What else is he wrong about? What ability does he have to make life and death decisions when he is so determined about the immorality of homosexuals?

I believe if same sex realtionships are what a person is seeking, that is their choice. Most don't choose that type of relationship, they either feel the need for that type of relationship or they don't. But those that do are ridiculed by some in society and makes their lives miserable and why? Who cares? Cure? That's a good one. Religious people have forgotten the bibical words "acceptance". Well, I'm not a bibical scholar for sure, but it seems somewhere along in life I heard that and it made sense as long as you were not interferring with someone elses life.

12. No cure
Edited on Mon Mar-19-07 02:22 PM by undergroundpanther
I guess gay animals are doomed to hell according to this kind of INSANE bigotry hiding under the label and excuse called religion.

The only"cure" for transgender as far as I know is to let the person be the gender they are, not what biology or a stupid bigoted narrow binary abusive,society demands.Let them transition as far as they want to go..and keep religion free of bigotry..

Question is there a cure for asshole-ism excusing bigoted assholes with asshole religious excuses?? Can an asshole believer be cured of being such a fucking BIGOT and control freak? Can he be "cured" enough to keep his disgusting opinions to his evil little self? That's what needs to be cured. Because RELIGION is ALWAYS a CHOICE. No one is born christian that's why the unfortunate kids's parents and the church want to INDOCTINATE kids early!!

So, if the asshole god wants his asshole followers to act on the 'writings 'of asshole people talking for thier asshole god, and they wanna try to force me to be female , or make a gay be straight than their god is a HUGE asshole.Period.

And I will say it often the nazi fundie god is an ASSHOLE. I HATE that angry jealous control freak jesus/god monster with my whole heart..I don't need an asshole god to tell me what good and evil is,because an asshole god or follower is MY moral inferior.

You see in the god asshole's book it says I ate(by proxy) from the tree of good and evil and because of eve's kind gift and the wisdom of that 'snake' Sophia, I learned the homophobic asshole god is pure EVIL..And because the fundie nazi god is evil, the followers of that evil god are evil. Sadly evil has too much voice here and so there are plenty of evil assholes in this evil dominated world who think they are so good, worshipping asshole lies that some assholes in some desert tripping out of their minds wrote about their asshole god, thousands of years ago to deal with.

So yeah, nazi fundies are assholes just like their asshole god.As above so below, both homophobic believer and the petty homophobic war god are assholes.ALL of them..
