Ex-Gay Survivor Takes On Palin’s Gay “Choice” Remarks


Colorado-based homo Dan Gonzales once tried to “turn straight” through ex-gay therapy. It didn’t work.

Now, in response to Sarah Palin’s ridiculous assumption that being gay is a choice, Gonzalez released this video emphasizing how all mainstream medical organizations agree that being gay is not a choice. The fact that she disagrees with trained doctors makes him question her judgement, he says.

Gonzales then goes on to challenge Palin:

If I promise to try really hard to be straight and went back to one of those ex-gay programs again, would you want me to marry one of your daughters?”

“Even though you ‘don’t want to judge me,’ it seems pretty likely you view my sexuality as sin, which appears to leave me with one choice: a lifetime of celibacy. I could embrace my sexuality and seek to form a meaningful, lifelong committed relationship with another man and build a family. But no, I think your interview has convinced me to choose a lifetime of being alone and celibate! Thanks, Governor Palin!

Poor Palin probably thinks he’s being serious.

That is such a ridiculous response to her comments. She was not “gay-bashing” in any way. She was saying she doesn’t have a problem with it. That is all we need from her. There is no homophobia, no hate, no judgement. Just saying “It’s okay”. Geez! Quit being such drama queens!

Wait. I think you really have to listen to what Sarah says. Sarah says her lesbian friend made a choice that isn’t a choice that Sarah made. I think Ms. Palin is saying that she’s a lesbian who chose to live her life in a heterosexual marriage. SARAH IS GAY!!!!

Once you have the gay accent, you can never go back…
