One the video at http://www.current.tv/watch/22362269, John Smid says, "<b>The term ex-gay</b> is a quick snippet but it <b>doesn't really describe the truth</b>, because 'ex-gay' says something like never again, ever will be, it's all gone, it's over, it's done, it's changed, it's transformed. <b>I've never known anyone that's experienced that, including myself.</b>" Emphasis mine.

We're talking about TRUE change now. What does that mean? Is normal change not enough? Change from homosexuality, OK, but into what? There appears to be a blank where the word 'heterosexuality' would be. True Change... hm... the vocabulary expands again... Oh, great. We’re talking about TRUE change now. What does that mean?
