WASHINGTON (BP) -- A small band of former homosexuals representing about 10 organizations stood on the steps of the Supreme Court in late July to demand recognition and equal rights under the Constitution. They protested the claim by homosexual activists that people with same-sex attractions cannot change.
"Anti-ex-gay extremists say that I do not exist -- that we don't exist," said Christopher Doyle, president of Voice of the Voiceless and Equality and Justice for All. "Tell that to my wife of seven years. Tell that to my three beautiful children."
Some of the activists spent the morning in meetings on Capitol Hill. Doyle said he met with Democrats and Republicans, all cordial, but "Republicans were definitely more sympathetic." The event marked the first Ex-Gay Pride Month, which the group designated as the month of July. Organizers had originally planned a reception at the Family Research Council, but emailed and phoned threats from homosexual activists caused them to postpone the event until September at an undisclosed location.
