Wade Richards was an "ex-gay" who rocked the right wing when he came out of the closet and said these groups are a sham. He has started a new group, Stand Out!, to support and enrich the self-esteem of young gay people by exploring the issues of self-reflection, diversity, and politics. His group is also encouraging, training, and mobilizing them and their allies to be a voice of awareness in their generation. This is a worthy cause, so consider supporting his efforts.
"The [ex-gay] movement helped me become a lot more confident and self-assured. I met a lot of good people there, people who would have laid down their lives for me, and that experience eventually gave me the confidence to come out [and embrace my homosexuality]."

Kurt, you're being duplicitous again! You are narrowly spotlighting a particular quote from an EX-ex-gay because it seems to suit your agenda, but you are ignoring his main message, which is that ex-gay ministries change no one. He has called them a "fraud".

Kurt:
I have interviewd Mr. Richards at length. He meant the ex-gay ministries helped him the same way cancer helps people appreciate living. This does not mean cancer is healthy, nor is the ex-gay charade good for people.
If you haven't noticed, Mr. Richards fights against the ex-gay myth. He thinks it is a fraud, so much so, he started a group to counter such demeaning and destructive efforts.

Kurt is obviously an "ex-gay" wannabe who is desperately hanging on to the lie, or a propagandist for the fascist religious right. You're wasting your time here asshole, you're like a horsefly at a gay pride picnic---so fuck off!!
