Last month, an equality advocate named Sai launched a new viral site called gayhomophobe.com. The site (which is already receiving critical acclaim, even from across the pond!) features a countdown tally at the top of the page listing the number of days since a prominent homophobe was caught in a gay-related scandal (the currently-featured ex-homophobe is John Smid of Love in Action, who came out of the closet and recanted his “ex-gay” teachings eight days ago) along with a list of previous notables including Eddie Long, George Rekers, Larry Craig, and Mark Foley.
According to the site, Sai’s goal is to list people “who used a position of power to promote or support an anti-gay agenda, and turned out to be a closet case,” regardless of political or religious affiliation. He also includes people such as Ken Mehlman and Roy Ashburn who reversed their anti-gay views after their respective scandals and came out publicly in support of LGBT rights, in order to show that people can change (not from gay to straight, but from self-loathing to self-accepting). Check it out — it’s a very handy resource!
And now, for some news: Truth Wins Out is honored to announce that Sai has decided to donate all of the ad revenue from gayhomophobe.com to TWO in support of our work fighting anti-LGBT religious extremism and the “ex-gay” myth. Additionally, equality supporter and Google employee Lee Colleton used his employer’s gift matching service to double Sai’s contribution.
All of us here at Truth Wins Out — Wayne, myself, Evan, and the rest of the team — are humbled by and grateful for the investments that Sai, Lee, and all of our other contributors make in our work for LGBT equality. We very truly could not do it without your support.
My sincere hope is that every time Truth Wins Out stands up to anti-LGBT extremism, breaks a major news story, and fights “ex-gay” lies with facts — every time we strike a blow for equality, whether it’s convincing Apple to nix an “ex-gay” iPhone app, holding celebrities like Tracy Morgan accountable for homophobic remarks, or exposing the Bachmann clinic for its use of “ex-gay therapy” — our contributing members like Sai and Lee are aware of how great a share they have in each and every victory, and how truly thankful we are that they help to make them possible. Thank you!

I wish I were rich and could contribute more to help your fight, but alas, I’m still unemployed after 4 years. But…congratulations on the donation. May God bless Wayne, Evan, John and everyone else at TWO as you fight for morality and truth!
This is great. How much is TWO getting?
I’m with you, Michael. I’m 78, retired, living in Cambodia and putting three very intelligent, sweet young people through school on my meager retirement. I, too, wish I had the means to contribute to Truth Wins Out. What I CAN do, however, is send info I read in TWO to many others to keep them informed.
Wayne, Even, John and the rest–I can’t sing your praises enough for the great job you are doing for the LGBT community. In my life, I never dreamed I’d see young people coming out as are now. But the many young suicides show there is still a long way to go.
Also, praises go to Anderson Cooper for his recent excellent CNN report on bullying.

As far as I am concerned TWO is single-handedly responsible for the demise of Michelle Bachmann’s political career. (Yay!) By bringing the torrent of ridicule onto her & her husband she was basically laughed off the national stage. I continue to be amazed at the great far-reaching influence TWO has & I want to personally thank you for exposing Bachmann’s clinic.
Of course the name of every politician listed on there has an R after their name.
