“Ex-Gays” Rebrand After Founder Comes Out As Trans

Why cannot these people understand or accept that people are born with the sexual attractions / orientation and gender identity are formed in the womb.   They are inborn, formed with a person as the rest of them is building.  While environment can influence the minor subsets and details of those things, the environmental factors cannot take a straight person and force them to be gay.  If a straight person cannot be changed in to loving same-sex relations, why do they think that gay or lesbian people can be changed to be straight.   It is not an idea backed up by science, it is a myth these people created to justify their hate.  It is no different from the other science denying crap put out by fundamentalist religions / religious people.   To deny these facts about sexuality that have been backed up with science is the same as denying the earth goes around the sun or that the earth is a globe instead of flat.  It is the same as the refusal to accept the medical science on vaccines or the well documented science on transgender peoples treatments with gender-affirming care.   I am so tired and sick of these anti-science anti-progress haters who only want to keep the status quo when they felt in charge and comfortable.   Hugs

 

Via email from activist Wayne Besen:

The Freedom March is a right-wing Christian fundamentalist organization that exists to “help” LGBTQ people “pray away the gay.” They also claim to help people transition out of being trans. So, it was a really bad day for the Freedom March when its founder, Jeffrey McCall, announced online that he was hooking up with multiple men. Freedom March told the world that he was “healed”. They sold the lie that Jesus “cured” him. When Jeffrey McCall said he was straight – we didn’t know he meant straight to bed with men.

It gets worse for the Freedom March. McCall recently announced that she was transgender and came out as Scarlett. This group’s “gay cure” worked so well, that their founder tried to “pray away the gay” and somehow became significantly gayer. Those thoughts and prayers are always so effective. When they promised Jeffrey McCall was transformed by Jesus Christ, I don’t think this is what they meant. Instead of transformation, they got transition.

As you’ll see in the video below, the group is now calling themselves “Rainbow Revival.” In 2021, McCall was featured in the Netflix “ex-gay” documentary “Pray Away” and his appearance in the film resulted in adulatory posts on multiple Christian sites. 

I wanted to post here before some people found out other ways. I have went back to my life as Scarlett. I never intended to hurt or disappoint anyone. I felt like no matter what I chose someone would get hurt. That’s a horrible spot to be in. felt like I tried to fight for so long. I tried to help many in ministry for so long. Please remember I’m just a human being and didn’t ask for any of things that I have went through. I didn’t ask to feel this way. Please show me compassion as a human being just as I have always tried to show everyone else compassion and understanding.

 

 

Jesus never mentioned homosexuality. So you can pray to Him all you want to “change” you, but He won’t. Because you’re fine the way God created you.

I’ve had this argument countless times with bigots on religious websites. Their response is always the same: Jesus didn’t say anything about a lot of things, that doesn’t mean he approved of it. You can’t win for losing with these people.

Christianity is founded on Paul’s teachings, where Jesus is little more than a figurehead. That is why Christianity does not observe the Sabbath, does not keep kosher, and basically ignores Jewish laws. Except, for some inexplicable reason, the prohibition on homosexuality, which the Tanakh imposes only on men, not women.

 

There actually are gay Orthodox Jews who avoid anal sex so as not to transgress that commandment, but they give and receive sexual pleasure in other ways.

(And there are plenty of other gay Jews who couldn’t care less about that ancient prohibition.)

A lot of LGBTQ christians squirm and writhe and do that christian thing of saying “oh, yes, the bible’s words say that, but what it really means is . . .” but, it’s an intrinsically anti-LGBTQ religion.

If they want to start their own religion, with a rewritten holy book, they’re always welcome to do that. They can make up whatever they want in a new religion. They can call themselves Jesusites or something if they want to hang on to some version of Jesus. But christianity is and has always been anti-LGBTQ, that was built in by the people who invented it.

I suppose that if a man is attracted to men but then transitions to a woman, the term “ex-gay” would be accurate. 🧐

 

If she is now a woman, and still sleeping with men, then she is a heterosexual. And she has certainly been transformed.

Be careful with prayer. God doesn’t answer prayer by giving you what you want. God gives you what you need (which can sometimes be a good bitch-slap).

Please show me compassion as a human being just as I have always tried to show everyone else compassion and understanding. -McCall

What did you think you were showing encouraging people to be miserable?

whatever happened to those duck dynasty folks ?? aren’t dynasties supposed to last a few generations, at the very least ?

 

As it turned out, those twerps were originally a bunch of country club types. Once again, rich assholes like to pose as the “common folk”.

 

Duck Dynasty was the class equivalent of blackface.

    “Duck Dynasty was the class equivalent of blackface.”

    An excellent call!

    Anyway, I hope we don’t hear about another suicide with this ex-founder, McCall. I hope Scarlett finds community somewhere. It’d be very difficult to just overlook Jeffrey McCall’s harms to others, but as long as Scarlett McCall doesn’t follow in Caitlyn Jenner’s self-hating commentary, maybe good can come from simply accepting Scarlett’s humanity. Scarlett can help bring about positive change, even, and she ought to do just that. Obviously she’s a community organizer, our side could use more of those.
