"A Very Isolating Experience"

Via Box Turtle Bulletin, a couple of clips from Exodus co-founder Michael Bussee (- woof -) on what happened when he left that ex-gay outfit, and what he regrets teaching; part of a series you can view in its entirety on YouTube.

First, I can totally relate to his description of being cursed and shunned:



And I understand exactly what he means about "the biggest heresy":



Interestingly, that Stonegate Fellowship Church video I referenced yesterday that Rob Tisinai posted on his blog has now been taken private by the owner; guess the secret of how to turn gay cocksuckers into born-again cuntlickers will have to remain a mystery known only to the saved.

Excuse my language, guys, but this subject really pushes my buttons:  that bullshit theology crucified me all of my teenage years, and came very close to killing me.  I still have the scars.  And they still fucking hurt.

That was the Devil's work, not God's.

Hi Russ, I just found your blog and I love it. The video you posted today was, how can I say, scary and sad, really sad! I live in NYC so I find what you say so cool to read. Anyway, I started my own blog about a month or so ago. Its called My Big Itch www.mybigitch.blogspot.com and I write about my life as a gay man in NYC and trust me it isn't easy. Its so hard some times that I needed to vent or I would self destruct. Thats where my blog comes in. The few who follow me have been great and I love their comments. I hope you will take a look at my blog and hopefully follow me as well. Talk soon. Steve
