Gay Activists Assault Ex-Gay, Trash Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays Booth at County Fair

ARLINGTON, Virginia, August. 28, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Angry homosexual activists harassed and assaulted ex-homosexuals at the Arlington County Fair last week, according to an ex-gay educational and support group.

Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays (PFOX) reports its volunteers were distributing education materials on same-sex attraction and awareness of ex-homosexuals at their fair booth. Homosexual activists approached them and created a disturbance, spewing obscenities and dashing materials from the exhibit table.

The group demanded that PFOX leave the fairgrounds, recognize "same-sex spouses" and rejected arguments that homosexuals could change their sexual orientation although they admitted they knew heterosexuals who had done the same.

The confrontation escalated after one activist struck a PFOX ex-gay volunteer after becoming infuriated over the man's testimony about leaving the homosexual lifestyle. A police officer then ejected the activist from the fairgrounds, although the ex-homosexual volunteer declined to press charges citing the example of Jesus Christ.

The incident, while not uncommon in PFOX experience, continues to highlight homosexual activists' rejection of tolerance and equal access ideas opposing and competing with the homosexual agenda.

PFOX said that several homosexuals had identified themselves as teachers and would make sure that PFOX ex-homosexual materials would not reach teenagers in schools as pro-homosexual materials do.

I was at the Arlington Fair. What was interesting was that the gay booth was set up back-to-back with the ex-gay booth. I remember wondering who the genius was that arranged for that, and wondered what fireworks would result.

Now I know!

I dunno. I thought this was a good way to show he was better and turn the other cheek. A good opportunity to witness.

LOL, the guy who did that was probably selling tickets.

I notice this has not been reported by the mainstream media...although Philly TV did do a story tonight about a church in Millville N.J. which has posted on its announcement board "Help for Homosexuals" in preparation for an upcoming talk at the church by a former gay who will tell of how he was helped by his religion - and about the outrage of homosexuals who see the sign and complain about how "ignorant and close-minded" people are who believe in such redemption - gays are scared to death that it might become accepted that they're not innocent victims and could actually do something about their peculiar preferences - might be called heterophobia......

They can not handle anyone that disagrees with their gay agenda, and, they are violent.

Apparently it is perfectly acceptable to question one’s sexuality, to decide one is gay. But that choice only goes one way. One is apparently forbidden to decide one is not gay. Hmmm.

Sounds suspiciously like a certain religion of pieces I mean peace that I know of. Shows the same evil hand behind them both I think.

Now the cosmic vibrations have been recalibrated and the universe resumes its natural state. No thanks to you.

My own observation is every gay has a loony toon streak in them. Their acts of sodomy derange their brain a bit. Sometimes a lot. They can work, own a house and be functional in society but have that demented streak in them

Well, whether homosexual or ex-homosexual, they all seem to be drama queens.
