For those gay activists who dismissed the warning bells of religious persecution and the undermining of freedom of speech … what do you say now?

As a so-called “gay activist,” I suggest allowing your victims speak for themselves:

My name is Lynn Mulder, I am Ryan Skipper’ stepfather, and Ryan was murdered last year

My name is Elke Kennedy and I’m from Greenville South Carolina. My son Sean was murdered last year

A better question, Randy Thomas, might be in regard to what you will tell God when He asks you about how you justified fueling the hatred that caused these murders.

“My name is Lynn Mulder, I am Ryan Skipper’ stepfather, and Ryan was murdered last year because of his sexuality. My stepson Ryan was gay, and it is important to me to speak out to the ex-gay ministry, because people are who they are, and they don’t have to be changed to be loved.

My name is Elke Kennedy and I’m from Greenville South Carolina. My son Sean was murdered last year, in a hate crime. The person hated him so much, even though he did not know him. So, um, I go out and come to these things, is to let people know that a) people don’t choose this lifestyle. God knows people before they’re ever born, and God is not wrong.

So, my son loved God, he had a good relationship with God, and these ministries do so much damage to children. I have a stepson who had gone through this program, and who has suffered, emotionally, for years because of it.

So, I’m here today, to make sure that we get our message out. It is that unconditional love is the way to go. This is what you’re supposed to do, and not just as a parent, but also as pastors, and people that go to church.”
