The ex-gays got another one. Michael Glatze opens a surprising WorldNetDaily column, “Homosexuality came easy to me, because I was already weak”.
The column’s so surprising, because Glatze once edited Young Gay America, a job that garnered him seemingly endless praise and a number of awards, including Equality Forum’s National Role Model Award.
Being such a role model took its toll and, apparently, led Glatze to the so-called truth: homosexuality’s nothing but a false, lustful lifestyle.
Well, that and a bad case of the shits.
Glatze writes:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
…I’d developed a growing relationship with God, thanks to a debilitating bout with intestinal cramps caused by the upset stomach-inducing behaviors I’d been engaged in.
Soon, I began to understand things I’d never known could possibly be real, such as the fact that I was leading a movement of sin and corruption – which is not to sound as though my discovery was based on dogma, because decidedly it was not.
I came to the conclusions on my own.
It became clear to me, as I really thought about it – and really prayed about it – that homosexuality prevents us from finding our true self within. We cannot see the truth when we’re blinded by homosexuality.
We believe, under the influence of homosexuality, that lust is not just acceptable, but a virtue. But there is no homosexual “desire” that is apart from lust.
In denial of this fact, I’d fought to erase such truth at all costs, and participated in the various popular ways of taking responsibility out of human hands for challenging the temptations of lust and other behaviors. I was sure – thanks to culture and world leaders – that I was doing the right thing.
Driven to look for truth, because nothing felt right, I looked within. Jesus Christ repeatedly advises us not to trust anybody other than Him. I did what He said, knowing that the Kingdom of God does reside in the heart and mind of every man.
Now that he’s “found himself,” Glatze wants the world to know that homosexuality’s “superficiality and lust-inspired attractions” lead straight to hell. And Glatze hopes we can all recover from our “repulsive” sins. We hope someone knocks some sense in Glatze’s head. Or sets him up with Charlene Cothran – they’d make a great couple.

ex-gays make me want to barf.

If heaven’s full of sick fucks like him, I’d rather go to hell.

I wish someone would take the time to examine ex-gays like Mr. Glatze. I mean, he wasn’t just gay, he was a gay cheerleader. Now he’s Mr. ex-gay and clearly going on an anti-gay rampage. So what happened, besides the Hersey squirts of course, that made him “change”?
Allen
I hate to tell you this, Michael Glatze. No matter what you claim … you will always be gay.
BTW … God made you that way. 😀

Talk about illness as metaphor: guy gets the shits, decides the Hershey Highway is the road to hell. He doesn’t need Jesus as much as a good shrink.

I guess heterosexual “desire” is never lust. How convenient.
It is too bad that lifestyle get confused with sexual orientation. Even someone who is asexual can lead an unhealthy way of life. But, he looks young. There is plenty of time for his journey to take him to the place of being an ex-ex-gay. Some of my best friends are ex-ex.

Holy Fuck. I just dropped my PDA reading this. I knew Mikey back in
college. I visited him and his partner Benjie when they were still
writing for XY back in the good old gay 90s. Although I disliked XY,
I found their writing remarkable. I have a fond memory of sitting on
their bay window seat, overlooking the streets of San Francisco,
reading a book, as they typed away at their computers trying to meet
deadlines. I developed the biggest crush on him. I remember my heart sinking when I found out his mom had passed away because my father was ill at the time. Reading this has been such a kick to the stomach. Why do I feel like he died? I’m getting drunk tonight.
inwashington
and i’m getting drunk tonight not because i’m gay and unhealthy but
because i’m human and unhealthy and humans do that ever now and then
when someone dies. blah
Paul Raposo
In a Time magazine article, Mr. Glatze said this:
“Today so many kids who are gay, they don’t like Cher. They aren’t part of the whole subculture,”
So already in October 2005 he viewed being gay as being part of a “subculture.”
“They feel like they belong in their faith, in
their families.”
Talking about faith and family, as if this is something new, that LGBTQ’s have never had faith or families before Glatze figured it out.
“I don’t think the gay movement understands the extent to which the next generation just wants
to be normal kids. The people who are getting that are the Christian right,”
He felt that gay kids wanted to be normal and he’s pimping the religious right. In the WND article he wrote:
“It’s a neurotic process rather than a natural, normal one. Normal is normal – and has been called normal for a reason.”
“Abnormal means “that which hurts us, hurts normal.” Homosexuality takes us out of our normal state,”
So clearly in 2005, he already felt that to be “normal” was to be straight and he felt that gay kids really wanted to be straight. Sad. How much damage has he done in the past two years?
He said in the WND article talking about his article:
“Just before leaving, not fully realizing what he was doing, he wrote on his office computer his thoughts, ending with the declaration: ‘Homosexuality is death, and I choose life.'”
“I was so nervous, it was like I wasn’t even writing it myself,” he said.
Inexplicably, he told WND, he left the words on the screen for others to see.
“People who looked at it were stunned; they thought it was crazy,” he said.
But he left his co-workers wondering about where he stood, never having fully explained his decision to step down.”
So he knew he no longer supported gay rights, which he now puts in quotes, yet he stayed on with his new anti-gay mentality?
This man’s writings helped me as I was coming out, so I choose to remember him for all the good he did, rather than all the hate he will create. But I can’t help but be disappointed in him.
He was a drug abusing slut, who by his own admission, was having unprotected sex–contrary to everything he wrote about and warned kids against. So rather than tell himself to grow up and stop doing things that were bad for him, he decided to listen to “voices” inside him and “leave” homosexuality. Why is all the men who decide they are now straight are former sluts and junkies? Can they not handle a mature monogamous–drug free–relationship, so they become straight thinking that will change them?
No matter how hard Mr. Glatze tries, he will never be able to erase all the good he’s done. Because of him young gay people chose to not kill themselves; chose to come out and be proud; chose to exist as loving human beings, rather than self-loathing recluses. At the age of thirty he will have many years ahead of him to spread his new found hate. But hopefully some of the people he helped will challenge him on his absurdity.
Paul Raposo
Sorry, the above Time article was from October 2006, not 2005. Although by his own words, he was already becoming a tad unhinged in 2005.
The fact that he would view his appearance in 2005 on a panel with Judy Shepard as something negative and the catalyst for his “change,” is mighty insulting.
Also, considering he decided to come out in World Nut Daily, shows where his mind is at. Clearly all the drugs have addled his mind.
Paul Raposo
Has anyone found out what Benjie Nycum thinks of all this?
inwashington
Does anyone really need to ask Benjie? I think we can guess. I’m still in shock.

I knew Mike years ago when we worked together. Something like this certainly sets one reeling, Mike had always (to me) seemed like a good role model, at least as far as the positive messages behind his projects (perhaps not XY, but YGA certainly). I think he has a lot of stuff to work out…until then he should reconsider keeping his role model award. I can’t say I’m angry, but the disappointment I’m feeling is very palpable. I hope he sorts this out for himself and regains some level perspective.
RoyMastersFHU
Michael became involved with radio talk show host Roy Masters and his group ‘The Foundation of Human Understanding’. This is the same religious group that Matthew Drudge processed his ‘change’ through. He commented about it in Radar magazine years ago.

And I am sure when he’s in bed with some woman puming away that he’s secretly fantasing about Brad Pitt bent over a table.
Another idiot gets brainwashed.

Ex-Gays are such poor creatures

Found this during a blog search, dated May 1 of this year:
“Then on Saturday was relaxing and fun. the morning/afternoon relaxed, then we went to the church at 4 for the baptism of Michael Glatze. He is very cool, he seems so excited to have found the gospel, it is very inspiring.”
Posted on this Halifax, NS blog. At least Mike is rocking it Canadian.

P.S.
Sounds like another paranoid bottom gone wrong
So sad when that happens
Jesus loves everyone
And I bet he played with his butthole too!

Poor guy probably tested poz and freaked. This “lutful” business is such crap. Straight guys would have as much sex as we do if only girls wouldn’t play such cat and mouse to protect their “virtue”, and they know it.

and I give a rat’s A$$ over this guy denying his sexual orientation…why?

To My Friends Who Are Trapped In Homosexuality
By Michael Glatze
Dear friend,
Thank you for your kind comments and keen observations regarding my story and my revelation about no longer being homosexual and now being heterosexual. I thank you for the time that you have spent in considering this issue, deeply, and with great passion. God loves you.
God is right there, within you, whether you like to see Him or not. Can you humble yourself to Him? It’s a really nice feeling. I know that, in some small way, you want to. We all do. We don’t like being separated from our Father; it makes us sad and lonely, forcing us to be angry, to act out, to get vulgar… well, I won’t go on; many of you have already demonstrated, on your blog comments, exactly what I’m talking about. ☺
God love you, Yes! He does! And, He wants you to be free from homosexuality. God made us men and women. Think about that; you could – really – be a man or a woman! Not a strange creature… but, real! That’s awesome… ☺
Change is very difficult and takes a lot of inner strength. Do you have that strength? I promise you that the Gay Identity does not exist, that it is a fabrication of mankind (look it up, if you don’t believe me), and that you are not “trapped†in same-sex-orientation. To believe that you are Gay is to be stupid. I’m sorry, if that sounds cruel; it’s not cruel. To believe that you are a false identity, created by man, unnaturally, to participate in social engineering, is to be stupid.
It’s not the acts, as much as it is the Identity. No one ever told you that, before, because they wanted to feed you with the lie that homosexuality is a set thing. Any intelligent “homosexual†knows there’s no fixed Gay Identity. If you don’t believe me, ask the theorists or “intellectuals.†☺
Gay Identity has been packaged and fed to you, and – if you believe yourself to be “Gay†– you have eaten it, preventing you from further growth and understanding of your true and real self.
Coming out from under this packaged lie requires strong self-confidence and will and desire to know the Truth. Yes, Truth is capitalized. It is that way for a reason. There is only one Truth.
That one Truth is the fact that you are beautiful, perfect, and glorious, in the image of He who created you… God. There is only one God. I know it may be hard for you to get your head around the paradoxical nature of God… but, He is everywhere “out there†and – at the same time – right inside your soul. He sees and knows you. He loves you. ☺
He wants you to be free of homosexuality. I promise you that. He’s rooting for you; He knows you can do it. Remember, He loves you! He’s not judging you – those angry voices in your mind, planted there by Satan, might scream and judge and ridicule – but, no; He’s not judging you. He has patience. He’ll give you strength. All you have to do is pray to Him.
Prayer and love – True Love, my dear friends – requires total humility. Can you do that?
I know, in my heart, that all homosexuals desire to be free.
It is a new world, one in which the lie will not stand much longer. The tide is turning. Be not afraid! It’s a good change! Jesus will come. ☺ And, when that day happens, will you be – truly – yourself!? Or, will you be a demon, trapped in a fabrication not your own, lusting and hating and destroying your soul to hell? Consider this one last thing: all the love you may believe you feel for yourself or for someone else, while trapped in the homosexual mindset, is a grain of sand on the beach of the love that you could feel. Healing is possible. When you choose to go there, you know who to call on for help. His name is Jesus Christ.
Michael Glatze

“Jesus will come. ☺ And, when that day happens, will you be – truly – yourself!? ”
Fuck you. I want to be civil but that statement is beyond insulting. When I came out, I truly became myself. I became confident, happy and free. My teenager years in the closet were marked by depression and self-hatred. If you want to be “straight,” that’s your business. But don’t you dare preach your self-righteous bullshit on my favorite gay blog, a safe space where I can be as gay as I want to be without fucking fundies posting their ridiculous and misguided rants. Michael Glatze, hang your head in shame, for YOU are the one living in fear.
