Catholic Hate Group Announces “Ex-Gay Visibility Day”

The Heritage Foundation’s Daily Signal reports:

Why should “Pride” have the entire month of June? That’s a question Jennifer Roback Morse, president of the Ruth Institute, asked herself. She came to the conclusion that if so much of America’s culture is going to celebrate people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender, she might as well highlight the Americans who rejected those identities.

Morse has christened the first Sunday in June (which is June 2 this year) “Ex-Gay Visibility Day,” in a fitting response to the White House’s commemoration of “Transgender Day of Visibility.”

“It’s not politically correct to talk about ex-LGBT people,” Morse says in a press release provided early to The Daily Signal. “To the gay lobby, they don’t exist, or they’re just lying to themselves or were never really gay in the first place. But I have met many people who have journeyed away from an LGBT identity and are living happy, fulfilled lives with opposite-sex partners.”

In the piece, Morse cites “research” by a Catholic priest who claims that 17% to 20% of “ex-gay” conversions are “fully successful.” Yeah.

As you surely know, virtually every so-called “ex-gay” group has collapsed in scandal, either after their leaders were busted trolling on gay hook-up sites or when they finally admitted publicly that not one of their members ever became heterosexual.

As for the Ruth Institute, it used to be an arm of the anti-LGBTQ hate group NOM. The above-quoted Morse appeared here in 2013 when she declared that LGBTQ people know in their hearts that they are all hell-bound “abominations.”

In 2011, Morse declared that legalizing same-sex marriage would make preaching about Christianity illegal.
