'Gay'-rights leader quits homosexuality. Rising star in movement says God liberated him

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.

Glatze – who had become a frequent media source as founding editor of Young Gay America magazine – tells the story of his transformation in an exclusive column published today by WND.

Although Glatze cut himself off from the homosexual community about a year and a half ago, he says the column likely will surprise some people.

"This will actually be news to anybody I used to relate to," he told WND.

The radical change in his life, Glatze recalls, began with inner "promptings" he now attributes to God.

"I hope I can share my story," he said. "I feel strongly God has put me here for a reason. Even in the darkest days of late-night parties, substance abuse and all kinds of things – when I felt like, 'Why am I here, what am I doing?' – there was always a voice there.

"I didn't know what to call it, or if I could trust it, but it said 'hold on.'"

Glatze said he became aware of homosexual feelings at about the age of 14 and publicly declared himself "gay" at age 20. Finally, after a decade in which his leadership role in the homosexual activist world grew – but alongside it, a mysterious inner conflict – he says he finally was "liberated."

In fact, he writes in his WND column today, "'coming out' from under the influence of the homosexual mindset was the most liberating, beautiful and astonishing thing I've ever experienced in my entire life."

EXCERPT

---

My mom died when I was 19. My father had died when I was 13. At an early age, I was already confused about who I was and how I felt about others.

My confusion about "desire" and the fact that I noticed I was "attracted" to guys made me put myself into the "gay" category at age 14. At age 20, I came out as gay to everybody else around me.

At age 22, I became an editor of the first magazine aimed at a young, gay male audience. It bordered on pornography in its photographic content, but I figured I could use it as a platform to bigger and better things.

Sure enough, Young Gay America came around. It was meant to fill the void that the other magazine I'd worked for had created – namely, anything not-so-pornographic, aimed at the population of young, gay Americans. Young Gay America took off.

Just my guess here, but I’d be willing to bet that this guy was pushed into the gay lifestyle by the degraded external forces we see operating in the schools and popular culture.

Sounds to me like he was probably always heterosexual. That was the “voice” he kept hearing all those years.

Knowing God changes everything. I am so happy for this young man, God bless him.

It’s a MIRACLE!!! IT’S A MIRACLE!!! He saw the light!!!
I myself believe that the whole homosexual thing is just a fad to annoy people like tattoos.

Hopefully he will be prepared since now he will be an enemy of the gay right organizations and liberal media who will take shots at him whenever they can.

[Sans-Culotte]

I guess he just couldn’t take it anymore.

[Darksheare]

God be with him, if the nastiness of some of the pro-homosexual ‘activists’ we’ve seen is any indication, he’s in for harassment or worse.

There are numerous cases of men who have abandoned the homosexual lifestyle and become straight. Enough to make a joke of the mantra that "they are born that way." If so, apparently one can change the way he was born.

This is why we know that the God of Abraham, Issac & Jacob exists. This is how we know that Jesus Christ was God incarnate and only by His shed blood, can lives & hearts be completely transformed. A total transformation is possible and available to all those who accept His sacrifice and His love and forgivenss.

May the Lord watch over and protect this young man as he is going to need it.

Such conversions will soon be labeled by the APA as a mental disorder.

That might happen in this chaotic, upside world.

I’d be willing to bet that this guy was pushed into the gay lifestyle by the degraded external forces we see operating in the schools and popular culture.

One of the most tragic issues out there today is how the weak of our society are being pushed into bondage by the evils of activism.

These people are the ones who always fall through the cracks, the ones who benefit when society is basically operating on moral values but are destroyed when perversion is taught through the culture.

These are the innocent among us who always go on whatever the prevalent leadership tells them; those who are in leadership today cause great harm and suffering.

[Psalm 73]

The radical change in his life, Glatze recalls, began with inner "promptings" he now attributes to God.

Jesus - the bondage-breaker and miracle-maker.

All of them are really “heterosexual” and the influence you speak of is demonic (anti-Christ) lying and telling them that God cannot help them..
