Ben Reininga reads the NYT's magazine profile of ex-gay Michael Glatze:
Glatze was well educated, professionally successful, romantically fulfilled, and, for all intents and purposes, happy being gay. He had no reason, or no readily apparent one, to renounce homosexuality — no deeply religious past or parents ready to renounce him. And yet, he did it. … On one hand, the struggle for gay rights is based on the idea that you should be able to have sex with and love whomever you choose — man or woman. On the other hand, this guy's not quietly falling in love with women; he's making a case against the gay-rights movement at pretty crucial time.
No, he's making a case for the gay rights movement. The gay rights movement is about enlarging the freedom for everyone not to be gay but to be themselves. If Glatze sees his future as straight, we are fighting for his right to live that way, with no judgment or discrimination and with respect. All we are asking for is the same in return.
