Adam Hood, a self-identified ex-gay, is among four former homosexuals denouncing their past lifestyles on something called RecycleYourFaith.com. The gay blogs have been poking fun at Hood’s scarf and other wardrobe choices. Then there are his stereotypical gay mannerisms and affectations. Recycle Your Faith’s founder Craig Spinks writes, “I can’t think of one website or resource that presents various points of view and creates a space for dialog. They all seem to have their mind made up and are justifying their cause. I want to help change that.” I don’t want to be mean, but, uh: Fail?

Ex-Gays Are 100X More Entertaining When They’re Obviously Still Yearning For One More Hit of Ecstasy

I pity this man, and the indoctrination he’s under. It is not him that should be vilified but the people behind the cameras, and the religious extremists who seize on vulnerable and confused gay people, love bomb them and then promote and sell them like the owners of freak shows. Adam hood maybe able temporarily to repress his natural sexual desire, but he is also a naturally effeminate man. Ironically, it is not enough to repress your sexuality, because his bible also says that effeminate men are damned. “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind … nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. Adam’s effeminacy is clearly a part of his nature, so he is still going to be in hell with the rest of us.

Sweetheart, you will die a queeny queen the same way you were born one.

P.S. You should have used the coat check for the scarf prior to filming.

Please tell me this is a farce.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m not gay because I’m a lisping fashion victim. So why should I believe that all lisping fashion victims are automatically gay? Come on. Whatever this guy’s problem is, it’s coming from somewhere else…
Hilarious
I think the saddest part is he’s actually attractive(self-hatred and other issues aside).
What a waste.
Call a spade a spade? Ha. Look in the mirror, Spade, you’re still gay. Enjoy the “sin” while you still can.
Amelia
If you checked the link you’d realize that two of those four people are in fact emphatically saying that homosexuality is not a sin and they are evangelical Christians who are actively in the community, talking about acceptance and fighting against anti-LGBT bigotry.
Michael
Is it April 1 already? Might be a problem. What happens when he finds no acceptance among straight folks?
Matt
This is great, I wonder if he does parties …
Mike in Asheville, nee "in Brooklyn"
Why is it that the so-called “Ex-Gays” are such sissies, really?
Jake
I hate that he implies people become gay because they had an absent father or were sexually abused – I was neither…. I’m just a healthy, fully functional fag!
Ogre Magi
Just another sad victim of christianity

This bitch is HILARIOUS and is in desparate need of some MAN seed.

Adam, if you are a true xian then you will not follow the old testament but only the new testament. in the nt, jesus says not ONE word about homosexuality. You need to get a clue dude – you are in such denial I feel very very sorry for you. You are actually in more of a cage now than you ever were before becoming an ‘ex-gay.’ There is no such thing Adam. You might be well served to have counselling with a good therapist and find out why you are in denial and feel such a need to deny your true nature.

Such political perversion of the Bible…
First, the Greeks had no words for sexuality like straight and gay. It simply was not a concern. The New Testament was written in Greek.
Second the word evangelicals translate as the modern day homosexual (in Corinthians and Romans) actually refers to a Greek practice of anally raping the soldiers of a defeated foe to take away their manhood. When the Greek army was victorious they had a practice fo raping the losers to further shame them.
So the word evangelicals translate as homosexual in their Bible’s today literally translates = anally raping another man to shame his masculinity.
Yeah, if I were God I would be against that too.
It’s also popular to say that Jesus never said anything about homosexuals… umm but he did. Jesus addresses the topic of Eunichs, who were essentially flaming homo’s taken from their family, castrated, and made to serve in a governer’s court. Jesus said this is hard to understand, but if your ears are open listen – some are born that way, some are made that way by society, and some choose to be that way.
These people preach false Christianity. The real one is about having faith in a supernatualy force that will right your life. The moment a person thinks they can do anything to do that themselves do not preach Christianity.
Rhen
Why are some christians always trying to “fill the holes” they find in everyone elses lives? Why do they want to “save” people who aren’t asking for help? Oh yeah, it’s because they are spiritual gang-rapists trying to turn their own oppression into a hand-me-down. Fuck those goofs.
Hilarious
@Rhen: I think their “fear of God” thing bothers me more. That’s the point I personally dropped religion in favor of spirituality.
Fearing your maker has to be the most idiotic thing I’ve ever heard.
Everything’s a sin, the sky is falling!

I was almost sure halfway thru that this was an Onion parody. Too bad.

LOL, I would have a hard time not puking over a chick if was ever to be intimate w one. “JEEEZZZZZUUUUUUSSSSSSS!!!!” HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
drewbrown
OMG, Nelly!!! Does this remind anyone else of Emmett from Queer as Folk, and the time he entered the ex-gay ministry?
Lawrence
O man the scarf just makes me LOL.
You may say youre no longer gay…but damn I dont even own a scarf!
james_from_the_great_city_of_cambridge
ROFL!!! C’mon people. He’s wearing a scarf made from a curtain (Trust me, I know; my mom has that same inside curtain in her living room, I swear to God!) and his whole manner of speaking…plus, get to 3:06 where he’s emoting and grabbing and you tell me this isn’t a parody! Oh Queerty, once again you’ve been had; I don’t even have to follow the link, it’s friggin’ obvious this is fake!!
asa1973
I am not even angry at this man. Just profoundly sad for him.
drewbrown
There’s a second video of him, posted at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sTNVcRpixI&feature=player_embedded, in which he explains how he was heavy into drugs, became convinced he was surrounded by devil worshippers and witches, and had a major psychological breakdown and ended up in a psych ward, where the voices in his head were “God”. If there’s anything to be learned from the Lady Hood, it’s that perhaps we need more mental health outreach and drug treatment programs in urban gayborhoods where kids may not have a strong social or family network to help them. He obviously needed major intervention and in his desperation, some con-artist found him and lured him into the cult of ex-gay Christianity. Strong, healthy, confident gay men (of which there are many) do not fall into the ex-gay trap.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Sorry Miss Thing, if everytime you open your mouth a purse falls out, its verrry difficult to pull off that straight thang…….
It drove me nuts to try and figger out which Gay icon from the 70’s favored the airy scarf look which you are so very desparatley trying to emulate: Paul Lynde!! (Thank goodness for the Googles)
At this point these do these “ex-Gays” even realize how absolutely pathetic they look???
Franco
Am I the only one who thinks this self-loather makes absolutely no sense? Crazy town.
Jimmi
Miss Thing needs a hit of XTCY and spend the weekend in the Pines.
Revemupman
Opps, your fag just sliped out…
Is this guy serious, he makes a gay guy want to scream fagget lol.
Ian
I know the guy’s deluded and he’s more to be pitied than censured.
But could we stop making fun of a guy just because he’s a flamer? Why complain so much when straight people do it and then do it ourselves?
BillySaint
What happened to his devil horns?
Mikenstl
I’m not sure if “man’s seed” is supposed to go into a sock, bump up against a diaphragm, go down the throat into a vat of acid, or get collected in a condom either??
I wonder if anal sex is OK as long as a condom keeps the seed separated from the “dirty stuff”?
It just makes me sad to hear him talk….
Ken
We should be grateful to the x-gays. They have proven that heterosexuality is a choice.

Hey Team,
Craig at RYF actually made 4 videos from different perspectives. 3 have been completed and loaded on the site, the last will be released next week. I highly recommend watching the 2 videos featuring Kathy. http://www.recycleyourfaith.com/2010/06/14/reconsidering-the-bible-and-homosexuality/
Craig also made a film last year I really enjoyed on this same subject.

This week’s video on Recycle Your Faith highlights a gay pastor who came out to his church on a Sunday morning:
On the Wrong Side of History
queertypie
“a man’s seed is not meant to eat crap and die”???? And the comment about gay men being gay because of being “fatherless”???
Is this for REAL? This looks like a skit from Second City and
“Sassy Gay Friend”…what a stupid bitch.
