“Zach’s supporters protested outside of LIA, but Wilson says the men and women inside were told not to make eye contact with the protesters and not to read their signs.”

Maybe it’s me, but if someone told me to remain ignorant of something (Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain), that’s when I’d find out as much about the subject as I could.

An historical footnote: When I was in grammar school, the movie “The Robe” hit the local theater. That’s when I learned from my Catholic friends that their church had a list of banned books and movies that Catholics were forbidden to read or see, which included “The Robe.”

Yet my friends were not such naive sheep as the church supposed. Appearing on the banned list just made some more eager to find out why the book or movie got on the list in the first place. So for these folks, this list had the opposite effect than the one the church intended. Promoting ignorance in the name of religion didn’t sit well with them.

Back to the article:

“The ex-gay message is simple: With enough prayer and determination (and ultimately, self-denial and self-loathing) people with same-sex attractions can go forth, straight. But so often, the “fix” doesn’t fix. The stories of the de-gayed returning to their gayness are many and well-publicized.”

Yeah, tell it like it is, Wendi!
