How a National Gay Rights Leader Became Straight
Many have asserted that homosexuality is “normal” in some people- that certain people are genetically predisposed. Of course as I document fully in my book “Conservative Comebacks to Liberal Lies” there is no such documented scientific homosexual linked gene. I used to be of the opinion in college that homosexuals were born that way. I wondered why anybody would “choose” to be marginalized by society. After college I moved to San Francisco and lived among many open homosexuals for just about a decade. Some of my friends and aqauintances through work and through my wife’s work were gay and really didn’t give much thought to it.
My eyes began to open, however, when I became a medical device sales rep and spent my days inside the San Francisco hospitals. I remember very clearly my visits to San Francisco General Hospital and the numerous walking corpses I would see walking the halls with canes or in wheel chairs. Gaunt emaciated ambulating corpses ravaged by AIDs. That is when it became clear to me that homosexuality was not the “healthy” lifestyle I always believed it to be. The more I researched it for my book, the more I realized how dangerous and self destructive homosexual behavior is.
Today I came across this story from World Net Daily and would encourage anybody who believes that homosexuality is “normal” and “healthy” to read the following testimony from former national gay rights leader Michael Glatze. I know that his story is not an anomoly. There are many tens of thousands like him who have come out of the homosexual lifestyle. I found his story to be very uplifting and look forward to interviewing this gentleman in the future.
Homosexuality came easy to me, because I was already weak.
My mom died when I was 19. My father had died when I was 13. At an early age, I was already confused about who I was and how I felt about others.
My confusion about “desire” and the fact that I noticed I was “attracted” to guys made me put myself into the “gay” category at age 14. At age 20, I came out as gay to everybody else around me.
At age 22, I became an editor of the first magazine aimed at a young, gay male audience. It bordered on pornography in its photographic content, but I figured I could use it as a platform to bigger and better things.
Sure enough, Young Gay America came around. It was meant to fill the void that the other magazine I’d worked for had created – namely, anything not-so-pornographic, aimed at the population of young, gay Americans. Young Gay America took off.
Gay people responded happily to Young Gay America. It received awards, recognition, respectability and great honors, including the National Role Model Award from major gay organization Equality Forum – which was given to Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien a year later – and a whole host of appearances in the media, from PBS to the Seattle Times, from MSNBC to the cover story in Time magazine.

Really.
Any idea why, then, that all of the major medical, counseling, social work, and educational organizations have position statements asserting that “treatment” aimed at changing one’s sexual orientation is harmful and is not permitted by credentialed clinicians?
Do you really believe that the commentary of a small group of extremists has more validity than all of the major scientific literature from people with advanced degrees in working with people?

why is it when ever you hear thqat someone changes from a gay orientation to a straight orientation, they were always enmeshed promiscuous behavior, how is that we dont hear like with heterosexuals….. he had a monogamous 10 year relationship and then suddenly realized that he was straight.
if active heterosexuals and homsexuals have never been found wanting in any sector of society because of their practiced oientation. what does it matter is they are straight or gay.
obviously what is becoming clear is that a promiscuos life style whether either heterosexual or homosexual is degenerative and medically dangerous. what has that got to do with anything. having discovered their MISTAKE they are free to rectify it. may god bless their efforts to engage in a life style they find peace and self actualization.
get a life……give us a break from your spin and manipulation of the facts. STOP THE SELLING.

Exactly, John. The people who fall for the brainwashing are unhappy and unstable to begin with. There are unstable people of all genders and sexual orientations. It’s not surprising that people who are having such a hard time that they’re turning to multiple sex partners and drugs are going to be susceptible to someone who offers them a “fix” to their problems. These people’s lives probably weren’t improved because they “became straight”; their lives were improved because they found others who’d struggled with promiscuity and drug use and low self-esteem, and they now have a community of people who understand them.
And yes, where are the happy, stable, committed GLBT folks who suddenly realize they should leave their families and “become straight”? Why have we not seen any of those?
