Exodus International announced today that Randy Thomas — longtime spokesman and until February the organization’s executive vice president — will leave his position in July. (Hat tip: Ex-Gay Watch)
On his blog, Thomas describes the departure as a gradual and voluntary vocational choice. But then Thomas adds: “What’s next? The final decision wasn’t made until a few hours ago so … not quite sure as of yet.”
Exodus International’s finances have been burdened in recent years by the ill-timed purchase of a new headquarters and by the impact of U.S. economic difficulties on donations.
In 2009 — the most recent year for which Internal Revenue Service data is publicly available — Exodus International reported a calendar-year decline of $60,000 in cash on hand; the organization ended the year with $280,000 banked, according to the group’s IRS 990 form.
That form lists total revenue for 2009 of $1.1 million and expenses of $1.2 million, of which salaries, wages, and employee benefits constituted about $525,000.
Hmmm, and he was just here in Asheville for the Exodus conference. I saw a clip of him talking to a reporter on the local news.
I see a trip to Parliament House in 3-2-1…..
Once the money runs out, they have to direct their hate in anotoher direction. HEAR THAT MAGGIE? Your waterloo is coming.
Huzzah! Now, will there be a re-shuffling of the deck chairs at other anti-gay orgs, resulting in “the usual suspects” changing places?

What a waste of money–when I think of all the people (and animals) that could have been helped with it.
Maybe he finally met the MAN of his dreams; and I’m sure he still has gay sex dreams (they all do).
It’s sad to know that preachers still advise people ‘struggling’ (yeah, right) with homosexuality to contact Exodus. Just last week on the radio program on xtian radio ‘The Journey’ with Ron Moore, had Ron Moore spouting all kinds of anti-gay nonsense & sexual purity nonsense & telling his audience that all they need to do to ‘change’ is to go to Exodus. The same old lies just continue & continue.
I have a curious question. Of the gross that E took in, other than donations, is there any data on how much they took in in 2009 in funds from seminars? It may all show as donations but if it is separated, t’would be insightful.
