He was a rising star in the "gay rights" movement, but Michael Glatze now declares not only has he given up activism – he's no longer a homosexual.
In his column, Glatze doesn't mince words, calling homosexual sex purely "lust-based," meaning it can never fully satisfy.
"It's a neurotic process rather than a natural, normal one," he writes. "Normal is normal – and has been called normal for a reason."
After becoming editor of Young Gay America magazine at age 22, Glatze received numerous awards and recognition, including the National Role Model Award from the major homosexual-rights organization Equality Forum. Media gravitated toward him, leading to appearances on PBS television and MSNBC and quotes in a cover story in Time magazine called "The Battle Over Gay Teens."
Toward the end of his time with Young Gay America, Glatze said, colleagues began to notice he was going through some kind of religious experience.

The fur is going to fly on this one. Even more than Norma L. McCorvey ("Jane Roe") becoming a born again Christian.
It's a choice, folks. It's behavioral--not genetic. And this sort of decision is not new. Such were being made in the days of the apostle Paul in Corinth.
"Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites... will inherit the kingdom of God. And SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God." - 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Before reading the rest of the posts below mine, consider this quote from the individual being discussed...
"Part of the homosexual agenda is getting people to stop considering that conversion is even a viable question to be asked, let alone whether or not it works." - Michael Glatze

This is very interesting!
Well, i'm not particularly against homossexuality. As a Christian that brings me some conflicts.
I don't know what to think with this news. Well, its on the internet and therefore not reliable by definition. I'll have to search deeper for informations

There are two things that are not easy for Glatze, a former gay leader, to do. One, it is not easy to quit being gay, I think. (I'm not gay, so I can only speculate that it is not easy to quit being that.) And two, it is not easy to quit being a leader of the movement.
It is a wonder what makes him risk quitting these. And I'm interested what was that religious experience he had undergone.

I'm reminded of Mace. Remember him? He was the rapper back in the 90's that Puff Daddy introduced to the world (and the bedroom). When it came out that PD (Sean John or whatever he call himself these days) was sleeping with Mace (lover-style), Mace suddenly "found God" and became a preacher. A couple years later, Mace found himself still attracted to both men & money, and went back to both. Now he and PD have rekindled their loveship.
I guess I said all that to say this... It's a choice. And thank God everyone has the right to make their own choices, and change their minds... Of course, as the saying goes:
Once you're gay, you'll never stray far away!

This offers more proof that you are not born gay if a "leader" of a "gay rights" group can "turn away" from his sin.
I like his statement "It's a neurotic process rather than a natural, normal one".
Notice the words natural and normal are NOT applied to homosexuals, but the word neurotic is.
I also like his other statement from the article.
"Homosexuality is death, and I choose life."

God bless him; I am not familiar with the gentleman, but it's
more than obvious that he is a man of courage and good character; it took alot of courage to do what he did, esspecially since those of the ex-gay groups are far more persecuted by gay groups than even heterosexuals.
I have alot of respect for the man.

I wish him good luck for choosing the good. West seems to be obsessed with "individual freedoms". It has severly damaged the culture of having families and has mad people more materialistic than anywhere in the world.

It said he left homosexuality, and it will be truly interesting to see if he gets a girlfriend. Look, that's great for him, but you must know, we can never truly know what he is thinking and mascarading.

"Three former leaders of Exodus International, often described as the nation's largest ex-gay ministry, publicly apologized Wednesday for the harm they said their efforts had caused many gays and lesbians who believed the group's message that sexual orientation could be changed through prayer."

"In his column, Glatze doesn't mince words, calling homosexual sex purely "lust-based," meaning it can never fully satisfy."
And at the age of 22 no heterosexual sex could be described as "lust-based"?
At 22 Glatze has had enough life experience to say "it can never fully satisfy" anyone?
I suspect Glatze realized just how much money he can get from fundamentalists as a "reformed" gay compared to what he could make as a gay activist.
"Religious experience" I can believe.

This in no way should affect what two legal consenting adults want to do with each other.
"It's a neurotic process rather than a natural, normal one," he writes. "Normal is normal – and has been called normal for a reason.
So I guess Normal is no longer open to interaction since we can observe homosexuality activities in nature and nature is normal right?
