Andy Comiskey:

On speaking of Ted Haggard's situation, he admits that stumbles and falls are things you need to be wary of as an ex-gay. Why would he need to admit this if he were actually straight?

Of his own struggles, he writes:
My second problem: I have a heck of a time staying within that boundary myself. As a Christian of many years, I don’t teeter on the edge of out and out adultery. I am too clever for that. But a hungry glance here or there, an alluring image on TV, the advances of admirers on the street or in church—these are sparks that can ignite my heart.

Does that sound like a person healed from homosexuality to you?

Sy Rogers writes the following in his biographical essay "Man in the Mirror":

I also experienced times of sexual temptation that alarmed and frustrated me. "If I'm still having sexual urges and temptations," I reasoned, "then nothing has really changed." My mistaken and unrealistic expectation was that God would just "zap" me into instant heterosexuality. However, in reading the Bible I learned that temptation was to be expected as part of life - but my identity wasn't defined by my struggle.

Frank Worthen:

I couldn't find much on him quickly and don't have time to do more research, but feel free to do some yourself. I did find this in his autobiography:

That accountability kept me from going back to the homosexual life-style.

Would a straight person need accountability to keep him from going gay?

Alan Medinger:

Despite claiming complete change he admits the following:

Naturally, I have avoided literature, movies and other situations which could arouse homosexual lust. When they are encountered, as they will be, or when someone I am counseling describes the circumstances of a sexual fall, it does sometimes give rise to some sexual feelings.



So, do any of these people really sound any different from those of us who choose to fight temptation and live a celibate lifestyle? Not at all. The only difference between these guys and me is that they are afraid of the word gay, and I am not afraid of the word BL, or even the word pedophile. They have chosen to redefine the word gay so that they no longer fit the definition whereas I choose a path of honesty that doesn't attempt to hide the fact that I am a BL/pedophile.
