See the latest update: Glatze says gays are stupid, strange creatures with voices in their minds
I feel for him. Really I do.
We found out today that Michael Glatze (pictured right with Judy Shepard), the founder and managing editor of YGA Magazine and the organization Young Gay America, has become “ex-gay.”
He “came out” in a column he wrote and an accompanying news article at the right-wing, conservative Christian WorldNetDaily.com.
Earlier today, I published a commentary on the news at IQN.
I will certainly pray for Glatze. His situation reminds me of a friend of mine. Like my friend, Glatze has real problems with issues other than being gay. Like my friend, Glatze – through his own admission – has (or had) real problems with substance abuse, pornography addiction and sexual problems. Being gay has nothing to do with it: After all, there are real gay people who are perfectly healthy and well-adjusted.
I hope Glatze finds whatever it is he is looking for and I hope that he is treated with respect and kindness. If I ever have the chance to meet him I will treat him just as I did with the person I now call a good friend: I will show respect for his own decisions and his own path to what is right for him and his life.
I just wish Glatze wasn’t putting his “ex-gay” lies on the rest of us.

Michael became involved with Roy Masters and the Foundation of Human Understanding. Roy is a close friend of David Kupelian and published his book. Matt Drudge used to have a tv show and featured Roy several times. Drudge also sought out Roy for treatment of homosexuality and spoke about it in Radar magazine years ago. Here is some of Roy’s work: http://www.fhu.com/articles/gays_in_society.html
