I Questioned Homosexuality???
My husband told me about this sign he saw on his way home from work on Friday, and thought I might want to take a picture of it. It amazes me that there is still an audience for such feeble attempts at brainwashing... but then, when major leaders of evangelical Christians are found to be gay themselves, well, is it any wonder?
As for the text of the sign, my deconstruction follows. "I questioned homosexuality." Question everything! "Change is possible." Sure it is. "Discover how." I already have. "Love won out." It certainly did. Love won "out" when I tried to repress my homosexuality as a young teenager, and love won out in my gay marriage.
As for "Exodus," the Jews escaped slavery thousands of years ago, and the gays broke free during the Stonewall Rebellion. We're free and we're out, and we're not going back.
FOLLOW-UP: When this "Exodus" group held an event at the Bethany Bible Church on February 10, 2007, a lot of openminded Christian groups -- both gay and straight -- showed up in protest. The event received publicity on the news as well. Here's a link to an article about this billboard and the event it advertised.
