At Andrew Sullivan’s blog, an ex-gay survivor discusses his first-hand experience with emotional damage at evangelist Rick Warren’s ex-gay program, Celebrate Recovery.

The survivor recalls Warren’s phony 12-step program damaging the lives of married men and their wives.

Addendum: The PFLAG Blog responds:

Rev. Warren needs to clarify … if he disagrees with President-Elect Obama’s belief that there should be no place for these insidious practices in true communities of faith.

There should be no room at the inaugural pulpit for a pastor who would put young people’s well-being at risk. There is nothing to “celebrate” about endangering the lives of those we love.
