Some Guys Are Normal: March 2005

http://someguysarenormal.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html

Some Guys Are Normal. Tuesday, March 29, 2005. Politicizing Gays and Gay Marriage. I hear all of the time from conservative and right wing groups that this whole gay marriage issue isn't something they are creating or politicizing just to stir up their base. They say this is a really important issue for them. Some will go as far to say the future of our society depends on preserving marriage (and thus outlawing gay marriage and any type of gay coupling at all). This article. Posted by Brady @ 9:22 PM.

Some Guys Are Normal: June 2005

http://someguysarenormal.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html

Some Guys Are Normal. Tuesday, June 28, 2005. No Child Abuse at Love In Action. I haven't said much about this Love In Action ordeal because everyone else has been all over it, and I wasn't really sure what to think. There is more coverage there too. Anyway, the point of this post is that I was over at the Exodus blog. And read that these charges of child abuse had been declared unfounded. Posted by Brady @ 8:21 PM. Friday, June 24, 2005. Because they were fairly directly pointed at me. I don't claim to,...

Exodus Takes on the Celibate Menace | Disputed Mutability

Reflections on ex-gay issues and other matters of faith, sexuality, and culture. Exodus Takes on the Celibate Menace. So I’ve just read. God’s Grace and the Homosexual Next Door.

https://disputedmutability.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/post-ex-gay

Reflections on ex-gay issues and other matters of faith, sexuality, and culture. I am officially no longer ex-gay identified. For those who are wondering why I ever snuggled up to the word in the first place, well, it did some things I needed it to do back in the day. After my religious conversion, I felt exiled from gaydom, very dyke-without-a-country, afflicted with a ridiculous traitor-guilt complex. (. What a crippling loss for the gays! How will they ever get by? Screw you, gayness! And what to do a...

Reflections on ex-gay issues and other matters of faith, sexuality, and culture. What Has Stuttering To Do With…? The Internet Monk has a post up called “Remembering the Stutterer.”. When I started to read it, I was like, “Ho hum, why exactly am I reading this? Who cares about stuttering anyway? But then I got into his discussion of what he learned from his experience as a stutterer, and found it startlingly relevant to the subject matter of this blog. Here are the point headings within his discussion.

Reflections on ex-gay issues and other matters of faith, sexuality, and culture. Update / “DM-lite? Baby DM is very healthy, very happy overall, and she’s gone from cute to. Her moving in any way besides the half-roll, which obviously doesn’t get her very far, but today when she was playing on this big blanket I have spread out for her and my back was momentarily turned, she somehow got mobile. I turned around to find her completely off the blanket, licking one of my flip-flops. (UGH! You can follow any ...

Reflections on ex-gay issues and other matters of faith, sexuality, and culture. WIFGI 4.2: Why Hating the Church Was a Bad Thing. Continued from 4.1. I’m mostly concerned with only one facet of the church in this post–the church as our spiritual family, as the local fellowship of believers who we shouldn’t forsake meeting with, the Hebrews 10:25. I’m not sure when exactly I realized that the situation I describe in the previous post. 8220;Look how shallow they are! Some of them don’t even kiss the...
