Hypersync wonders why ex-gay activists are conning Christian conservatives into yet another round of false labeling. Instead of acknowledging that persons’ sexual and romantic attractions are real, ex-gay talking heads at Exodus and Focus on the Family want gullible churchgoers to think attractions and basic personality traits are as changeable as one’s label, hence all same-sex-attracted people are no longer same-sex-attracted, they are now “gay-identified.”
Hypersync says: “I’m curious of the round-table conversation that drove them to this most recent change in terminology. What went on, what argument was made, what are the reasons why? I suspect that once again, they determined that their arguments are not winning the day, so they have to mix up things a bit.”

Hypersync quotes Focus on the Family as saying:
“Extending special rights to gay-identified individuals is set to be debated when Congress comes back in session.”
So the right to be treated as decently as everyone else is a SPECIAL right, is it?
One thing’s clear: The FotF’s ever-phoney terminology may have changed, but the mendacity hasn’t.

I don’t think this is any “new” terminology. Randy Thomas for one has been using “gay-identified” for a while now.

Not new to Randy, but his stupidity is gradually spreading.

“The ‘ex-gay-identified’ con-artists FORMERLY known as ‘non-SSA-identified’ con-artists, FORMERLY known as ‘post-gay’ con-artists, FORMERLY known as ‘ex-gay’ con-artists”.
LOL!!! THESE nutballs are worse than my favorite (R.I.P.) crackhead/rapper, Ol’ Dirty Bastard:
Between 1995-2004, he drifted between “Ol’ Dirty Bastard”, “O.D.B.”, “Big Baby Jesus”, “Joe Bananas”, “Unique Ason”, “Osirus”, “Peanut the Kidnapper” and about 20 other doppelgangers.
Are the “ex-gays” trying to beat his record??
