Voice of the Voiceless (VoV) and Equality and Justice for All is excited to announce the First Annual Ex-Gay Pride Month Celebration on July 31, 2013. “This will be a historic day for ex-gays across the country as we unite on Capitol Hill to lobby Congress to recognize former homosexuals,” commented Christopher Doyle, Co-Founder and President of Voice of the Voiceless. “Now that former homosexuals are a protected class against discrimination in Washington, D.C., this opens up the door for our unique stories to be heard and achievements recognized as we celebrate the First Annual Ex-Gay Pride Month!”

On June 18, Voice of the Voiceless called on President Obama and The White House to issue a Presidential Proclamation to celebrate July 2013 as a historic month for ex-gays, who have for years, suffered discrimination and intimidation because they dare to exist. “Thanks to the 2009 judicial ruling, ex-gays no longer have to hide in the shadows in fear of intimidation and threats from anti-ex-gay activists and media who seek to marginalize and diminish our community,” commented Doyle.

What 2009 judicial decision? They ought to set up a petition at the Whitehouse. If they make the rounds of the conservative religious talk show circuit they could get the requisite number of signatures pretty easily. It would be funny to see the Obama administration attempt to respond.

I can't wait for the massive insults hurled for no reason.

Almost every group gets a "month" nowadays. Someone should make an "RPFs Month" or "Ron Paul Awareness Month".

Most likely these people are not ex-gay, they are more than likely bi-sexuals who became convinced that they should choose women to have intimate relationships with in fear that they will go to hell. They may have recognized their attraction to males before females, or perhaps it was a stronger urge or incidentally it just worked out for them to have male partners. But that doesn't mean they were gay.

There are people who are gay and just really aren't attracted to women at all. Sort of like how a lot of guys would never want to have sex with another man.

Polygamy Pride celeberations don't have a month assigned... yet.

After that is Ephebophilia Pride Week.

So. it's like Alcoholics Anonymous for gay people, except that people who are on the wagon are openly detested by the practicing alcoholics?

Or more likely you are engaging in circular reasoning to support your psuedo scientific views on human sexuality.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Sounds like it. In his 2008 campaign Obama threw gospel singer and ex-gay Donnie McClurkin under the bus at the behest of gay rights bigots.
