Sorry

Three former leaders of the biggest ex-gay groups have apologized for the pain and harm their activities have caused. Money quote:

"Some who heard our message were compelled to try to change an integral part of themselves, bringing harm to themselves and their families," the three, including former Exodus co-founder Michael Bussee, said in a joint written statement presented at the news conference. "Although we acted in good faith, we have since witnessed the isolation, shame, fear and loss of faith that this message creates."

You can see three video testimonies from the three former ex-gay leaders here. I wonder when Bill Kristol will apologize. He gave these groups critical credibility in his war on gay people in the late 1990s. And he didn't even do it for sincere religious reasons. He did it because he thought he could exploit the pain of many tormented gay people to advance his own political agenda.
