Well, not all *that* sad.


Fewer Than Ten People Show Up For Ex-Gay Pride Event That Expected to
Draw 'Thousands'


Yesterday, American Family Radio’s Sandy Rios spoke to Ex-Gay Pride
Month organizer Christopher Doyle about today’s ex-gay lobby day on
Capitol Hill. Doyle, who was organizing the since-canceled Ex-Gay Pride
banquet at the Family Research Council, complained in an interview with
the Christian Post that “un-American” LGBT rights advocates have “shut
us out,” explaining that “because of all this homo-fascism and
indoctrination in the media, ex-gays aren’t given a fair shake.”

Rios confidently predicted that “thousands of ex-gays are descending” on
Washington for a press conference planned for today at the Supreme
Court. She lamented that when she led Concerned Women for America the
media refused to hear “our ex-gay friends” because it “undermined the
whole effort of the homosexual lobby.”

Doyle told Rios that “tens of thousands” of ex-gays exist but are “in
the closet because of fear, shame and threats from gay activists.”

Well, despite the expectation that “thousands of ex-gays” would partake
in Ex-Gay Pride Month, fewer than ten people showed up for the big event.

Besides Doyle, ex-gay activists Greg Quinlan of Parents and Friends of
Gays and Ex-Gays (PFOX), Richard Cohen of the International Healing
Foundation and Douglas McIntyre of Homosexuals Anonymous also participated.

The Family Research Council is one of the biggest crocks of crap in the
United States.
