Internet evangelist Michael Vorhis has often put his antigay positions front and center, casting wide nets of warning that the “militant gays” seek to destroy all that is good and holy in the world.
And never doth the proverbial lady protest too much as Vorhis, who founded the ChurchMilitant website and now reveals he is was gay himself.
“I’ve never made a secret that my life prior to my reversion was extremely sinful,” he says in a recently uploaded YouTube video.
“I did not reveal the specific nature or details of the sins because when I returned home to the church, I did not think that a full public confession of details was necessary in order to start proclaiming the great mercy of God. Perhaps that was a wrong assessment. I don’t seriously know.”
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.

“Whatever the matter, I will now reveal that for most of my years in my 30s, confused about my own sexuality, I lived a life of live-in relationships with homosexual men…On the inside, I was deeply conflicted about all of it.”
“I gave into deep pains from my youth by seeking solace in lust, and in the process, surrendered my masculinity.”
Then Vorhis drags his poor mother into the whole mess, and the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. He says she prayed so hard for him to abolish his sexual sins, that “as a last resort, she prayed to be given whatever suffering needed so that I would be granted sufficient grace to revert. It was shortly after that prayer that her very early stage stomach cancer was detected, which she died from a few years later.”
We’ve heard a lot of bogus claims about homosexuality over the years, but this is a new one. Apparently gayness causes cancer — in your loved ones.

“When my mom died, I pledged at her coffin that I would change. I said, ‘Mom, what you went through for me, you will not have gone through in vain.'”
“I was thrilled — over the top! — with gratitude for what God had done for me through my mom and her suffering.”
Fans of gymnastics will surely be captivated by the extent of mental flips and backbends required for Vorhis to feel “over the top” that his mother died of stomach cancer so that he could stop chasing the D.
And since he seems to be doing enough praying for himself to last an eternity, we’ll instead take a moment to send positive thoughts to any young, questioning soul forced to endure Vorhis’ disgraceful nonsense.
Watch below if you can stomach it:

like many a weak-minded broken fool, he’s terrified of going to “Hell” when he dies.
that’s it. that’s all. he’s so crushingly stupid that he’s a grown adult who is literally convinced that “Hell” exists.
it doesn’t. at all. it was fabricated as a concept in the dark ages to scare more people into converting to catholicism.
this is the same fear-based mentality that results in ex-gay phoneys and those “i’m a celibate gay because bum sex leads to hell!” morons like Landon Schott, Matt Moore, Grady Smith and literally every other broken little wimp who believes that God is fine with wars, slavery, rape, famine, mass world poverty, but draws the line at two people of the same sex or gender being physically intimate with each other.
JerseyMike
Typical.. the ones always saying antigay shit are the main ones to look at. Never fails.
AtticusBennett
so, his mom died of cancer so he wouldn’t be gay? odd. my mum was the grand marshall of the toronto pride parade cuz she loves gay people.
😀

“I was thrilled – over the top – with what God had done for me …..”. What a totally screwed up individual. It’s one (stupid) thing to believe that God had any part in this but to be “thrilled and over the top” because God KILLED your mother in order to change your homosexuality is beyond ignorant … It’s selfishly sick! Pass the collect plate because this fool’s fantasy “cure” is all about keeping the donations rolling in.

Someone tell this queen to come down off the cross, we need to wood for something useful.

Wonder how much she paid for that toupé. Sad queen can’t get laid so she wants to condemn others. F off.

Yeah! Another self-lothing homosexual who think’s he’s the spokesperson for the whole community! Sorry your life sucks (much like you do). NEXT!

He is an idiot.
Sweetie Pie
He just wanted to have firsthand experience of what he was talking about, so he dropped his pants, bent over and took a 10-incher dick up his ass so he would know what it is like…

He is completely insane and surely very unhappy with his life. I almost feel sorry for him.
Hussain-TheCanadian
A coward and a hypocrite; men like him reinforces the insanity that natural love and affection is “sin” – People like this need to be tard and feathered.

LOOK AT IT.ITS BECOMING A FREAKY TWISTED ALIEN.ANYONE LIVING IN DENIAL HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO CREATE SOMETHING ELSE – SOMETHING DIFFERENT -A NEW VERSION TO ESCAPE THE DENIED ONE – OTHERWISE ALL YOUR ENERGY IS TRAPPED IN THE OLD ONE DENYING DENYING DENYING.YOU ARE STUCK IN IT EVEN MORE BY DENYING IT.
SO THE SOLUTION IS TO MAKE AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE TRUTH BY INVENTING A LIE.MAKE-BELIEVE IS A VERY GOOD ESCAPE.PRETENDING CAN WIN YOU AN OSCAR.CREATING FANTASIES SEEMS TO BE THE OCCUPATION – PRE-OCCUPATION OF MAKE BELIEVERS -WHO CANNOT ACCEPT OR LOVE THEMSELVES.ITS THE LOT OF THOSE WHO BECOME THEIR OWN ENEMIES.ITS A WORLD OF FAIRY TALES THAT FAIRIES FIND SAFETY IN.THEY CAN HIDE IN THERE PRETENDING FOREVER – AT LEAST THEY BELIEVE THEY ARE HIDDEN.
I WOULD NOT WISH TO SLEEP WITH AN ENEMY ESPECIALLY A CREATURE WHO IS PRETENDING TO BE SOMETHING IT ISN’T- WHICH HAS MADE IT ITS VERY OWN ENEMY.SELF DENIAL IS A STATE OF WAR.WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PERSON YOU REALLY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IF YOU HATE IT SO MUCH THAT IT NO LONGER CAN BE A LIVING ENTITY?IF YOU TURN ON WHO YOU SHOULD BE – DENY IT – AND FINALLY DESTROY IT – TO MAKE WAY FOR A FORGERY – AND THEN PROCLAIM YOURSELF FINALLY THE REAL THING AT ONE WITH GOD COMPLETELY TRUTHFUL HONEST AND ABLE TO KNOW AND PRACTICE LOVE?
THAT IS A MONSTER THAT DOES BELONG IN THE TWISTED STRAIGHT-JACKETED LIFE WHERE HAS DEFORMED ITSELF TO FIT.
I BELIEVE IT DID NOT CHOOSE TO TURN FROM THE GAY LIFE- I THINK IT LONGS TO BE A PART OF IT – IN A MAN’S EMBRACE LOVING CCK
BUT
IT FOUND IT NO LONGER FITTED – IT WAS REJECTED – BECAUSE iT WAS BECOMING SICK AND REPULSIVE AND THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE IN THIS MAD WORLD – ITS GAY OR STRAIGHT – HE WAS CHANGING INTO AN UGLY WEED IN A GARDEN OF BEAUTIFY GUYS – IN MIND AND BODY AND SPIRIT.HE KNEW HE COULDN’T HIDE HIS UGLY MIND AND SPIRIT AND SOUL FROM US GUYS.
SO HE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO GO BACK TO THAT NASTY COLD WORLD OF HATE – CATHOLICS- CHRISTIANS.CREATURES WHO PRETEND LOVE BUT CANNOT MAKE LOVE.THIS UNNATURAL UGLY WORLD OF MACHINES AND CEMENT WE MADE AND LIVE IN BY STEALING GOD’S PARADISE AND TRANSFORMING IT TO SUITE OURSELVES.WE FIXED AND IMPROVED UPON THAT MESS OF HIS – TO MAKE OUR CLEVER VERSION OF HEAVEN ON EARTH – THE CORRECT VERSION OF A PERFECT WORLD.WE MADE IT BETTER THAN HE EVER COULD.
THAT HATRED OF GOD AND HIS WORLD AND HIS IMAGINATION WAS WHAT DROVE US INTO THIS MADNESS – AND WE CLAIM IT IS ALL THE PRODUCT OF CHRISTIAN LOVE.THAT IS THE PRETEND – THE MAKE-BELIEVE – THE LIE – WE MAKE OUR REALITY.WE COVER OUR UGLINESS WITH MASCARA AND BELIEVE IT DISAPPEARS.
BUT UGLY – IS UN BEAUTIFUL-.IT IS SICKNESS.
OUR LITTLE PREACHER IS NO DIFFERENT FROM ANY OF US – AND NOTHING BUT A SYMBOL OF OUR TRAGEDY.
WE ALL BEGIN POTENTIAL.SOME – A FEW GROW BEAUTIFUL – BUT SO MANY BECOME TWISTED AND TURN UGLY.
SO MANY HAVE MADE THEMSELVES UGLY BY CHANGING LANES. – GETTING OFF TRACK – GETTING LOST.
DETOURS FROM THE PATH OF TRUTH AND LOVE ALWAS LEAD TO DEAD ENDS.
THERE IS NO IN BETWEEN – EITHER ITS TRUE OR ITS LIES.ITS LOVE OR IT ISN’T.
LEAVING OR LOSING TOUCH WITH TRUTH AND LOVE LEAVES YOU IN A CHAOS OF NONSENSE.A NO MAN’S LAND. A FAIRY TALE LIKE ALICE IN WONDERLAND THAT IS POPULATED BY EVERY KIND OF CREATURE – ALL ALIENS – WITHOUT A MAN TO BE FOUND.A WORLD CONTAINING EVERY KIND OF CRITTER BUT MISSING A MAN IS A RECIPE THAT WON’T WORK.MEN ARE A NECESSARY INGREDIENT – THE ONLY ONE THAT IS ABLE TO GIVE THIS WOMAN’S REALM STABILITY.
A REAL MAN IS TRUTH AND KNOWS LOVE.NOTHING ELSE CAN.THE REST CAN DO NO MORE THAN TRY.
TURNING YOUR BACK ON YOUR BROTHERS.SAYING THAT YOUR FRIENDSHIPS AND LOVES WERE A LIE.WORST OF ALL MAKING THEM OUT TO BE EVIL AND SINFUL AND WICKED – BAD – THE WORK OF THE DEVIL.
YOU ONLY BROADCAST YOUR IMAGINATION.IT IS WHAT IS EVIL AND SICK.YOU SEE THROUGH EYES OF SICKNESS BECAUSE YOUR WORLD COLLAPSED.
NO MAN WAS THERE TO PICK UP THE PIECES WHICH LEFT YOU ABANDONED AND LOST AND ALONE.
YOU HAD NOTHING AND HAD NO WAY INTO A NEW LIFE SO WITH YOUR TAIL BTWEEN YOUR LEGS YOU RAN BACK HOME TO MOMMY CHURCH TO BE SAFE FROM THAT BIG BAD WORLD OF MEN.YOU KNEW FOR CERTAIN AT THIS MOMENT OF TIME – YOU COULD NOT – HAD NOT THE BALLS – TO BECOME A MAN AMONG MEN.
YOU COULD NOT GROW INTO THAT.BUT YOU ALSO KNEW YOU COULD NO LONGER PLAY THE PART OF A BOY – A FAIRY – AT THAT CHANGING AGE YOU HAD REACHED.IT WAS OVER – YOUR YOUTH.
SO YOU WERE STUCK – NOT A MAN – NEVER TO BE A MAN – STILL AND FOREVER A BOY – BUT OLD.NO LONGER ABLE TO PLAYTIME OLD GAY GAME.WHAT DOES A FAIRY DO IN A MATURE ADULT WORLD?
SO YOU ARE HIDING IN YOUR FAIRYTALE WORLD OF RELIGION WHERE YOU THINK YOU CAN SAFELY PLAY YOUR CHILDISH GAMES PRETENDING YOUR LIES ARE TRUTHS.YOU ARE TRYING SO HARD TO INVENT A FABLE WHERE YOUR FAIRY GODMOTHER AND BIG DADDY GOD ARE PROTECTING YOU FROM THIS TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTING REALITY.
YOUR LIFE DID NOT TURN OUT THE WAY IT WAS SUPPOSED TO.REALLY YOU HATE GOD FOR DOING THIS TO YOU.YOU HAVEN’T GOT A CLUE ABOUT LIFE ABOUT GOD ABOUT YOURSELF ABOUT OTHERS AND ESPECIALLY ABOUT MEN.ITS A A MYSTERY – A CONUNDRUM BEYOND YOUR TINY IMMATURE IMAGINATION’S ABILITY TO EVE BEGIN TO GRASP.
LIFE IS BEYOND YOU.IT IS PASSING YOU BY.YOU ARE STUCK – STUCK IN THE MUD-THE QUAGMIRE OF YOUR TIRED FEAFUL STUPID BABY WORLD
ITS ALL SLIPPING AWAY WHICH IS TERRIFYING.LOSING YOUR LIFE TO FEAR AND FRUSTRATION HAS TURNED YOU YOURSELF INTO THE DEVILS YOU SEE EVERY WHERE AROUND YOU.
YOU ARE THE SICKNESS.ITS BEING WEAK HELPLESS AND ALLOWS SICKNESS TO GROW INSIDE.THIS REALM IS UNSTABLE BECAUSE IT’S A WOMEN’S WORLD .
ONLE A MAN – MEN GIVE IT STABILITY.
WITHOUT MEN TO KEEP IT ON TRACK IT FALLS VICTIM TO CHAOS.IT IS THE SAME IN OUR LIVES.WITHOUT A REAL MAN – WITHOUT REAL MEN IN THIS WORLD – IT SLIPS INTO CHAOS – MADNESS.LOSTNESS.
UNTRUSTWORTHY BECOMES A LIFE.DECEIT AND LIES AND SELFISHNESS BECOME THE STANDARD IN A WOMAN’S WORLD.A MAN CHANGES ALL THAT IF HE IS ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE.
WITHOUT HIM IN IT LEAVES ONLY ONE ROAD TO FOLLOW.IT’S THE ROAD THAT BRINGS WITH IT – FIRST LEARNING TO HATE ONESELF – THEN SHOWING THE WAY TO INCLUDE EVERYTHING IN YOUR EMBRACE– OF ALL CONSUMING HATRED.
JUST LOOKING AND LISTENING TO THAT CREATURE PREACHER AND TRYING TO IMAGINE HAVING SEX WITH IT– TRYING TO PICTURE A NIGHT WITH IT – IS REPULSIVE.
WHICH IT MUST DO ALL THE TIME – LIVE WITH ITS REPULSIVE SELF.
YOU GOTTA UNDERSTAND SOMETHING OF ITS DILEMA.ITS HELPLESS HOPELESS UNSOLVABLE CONUNDRUM IT CANNOT ESCAPE.
WE CAN SHUT THE DOOR AND NEVER EVER NEED TO BE WITH IT SEE OR HEAR IT EVER AGAIN.
MAYBE – JUST MAYBE -EACH AND EVERY NIGHT IT CAN PERHAPS FINALLY ACTUALLY BE RELIEVED OF ITSELF – LET GO OF WHAT IT HAS BECOME -FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
BUT THE HORROR IS IT KNOWS IT MUST AWAKEN EACH MORNING – NOT TO FIND IT WAS REALLY THE SLEEPING BEAUTY – BUT WHO KNOWS WHAT-IN-HELL IT IS NOW GROWN INTO DURING THAT ABSENCE.
WHO WOULD DARE WAKE UP TO FACE THAT/
IT WHAT WOULD IT BE IN THE MORNING?

If God struck down my mother with a bolt of lightning, then I would stop being gay.
Or at least I’d *consider* it.
Go ahead, God, give it a try.
Stache
Damn. So much Bullshit.
Pussy still trying to please Mommy. You have no masculinity. You’re still fake as shit with that ridiculous looking rug you wear.
Stache
@AtticusBennett: The scary thing is that he really believes that. What an insane narcissist.
Chris-MI
To me the saddest thing about this is that even celebrity ex-gays like John Paulk (Cover of Time Magazine!) and Ted Haggard either eventually get caught with a hooker or renounce it and move on. These were people who were given tremendous financial and lifestyle incentives to repress their desires. Haggard had a beautiful family, a $600,000 house, a six figure salary, and a standing invitation to the White House. And he gave it all up for a drug-addicted bodybuilder.
Ex-gay doesn’t work guys, and neither does celibate gay.

“We’ve heard a lot of bogus claims about homosexuality over the years, but this is a new one. Apparently gayness causes cancer — in your loved ones.”
LOL, the guy is a complete self-hating loon. Yet another example of how religion poisons everything.

@AtticusBennett: You love throwing the “wimp” word around. Did YOU ever look in the mirror??? Anyone could point you out in a line up as one of the wimpiest guys around. Is that why you are so insecure that you call others wimps? Pot calling the kettle black, AGAIN!

@terry2: You clearly have a mental illness. Please get some psychiatric help.

I grew up Christian, but I’m so glad that I wasn’t born into a gay-hating family filled with overly religious nut-jobs. I pity this dude. However, it seems to me that every year more and more people of faith are coming out of the closet, and ever increasing numbers of straight Christians are accepting them openly. I’m optimistic.
PRINCE OF SNARKNESS aka DIVKID
His hair didn’t get with the message..maybe it got a papal dispensation.. cause it it remains flagrantly & unapologetically GAY AS FUCK

Many a preacher, priest, rabbi, nun, televangelist, or religious zeolot has had to come to terms with their “disbelief”. It has to be tough! Wasting one’s entire life studying the bible, preaching, living a lie. It takes too much courage for some to admit their failure. It’s Much easier to suppress the truth and continue the deceit than come clean and admit they’re wrong. Totally sad.
Josh447
Yeah bud, hide out and slather all the arm waving religious fairy tales you want on it, you’re still gay. And always will be. Get over it and deal with it Momma boy.
Kangol
That Joey Heatherton wig alone suggests he’s not right in the head, or on it. Looks and sounds like he could use some more psychological help, pronto.

Good comment…I’m optimistic too.
SFHandyman
Hahaha!
I wrote this mini novel about one of his videos 6 days ago. The video was posted on the Friendly Atheist channel on Patheos dot com. His video is called “Altar Girls Make The Liturgy Unappealing To Men”.
Do you think I pushed him over the edge?! 🙂 haha
————–
I apologize for the length of this comment.
The toupee guy is without a doubt a self hating homosexual, who was damaged by the Church. He is imagining the boys in church “slouched back in their gym shorts”? Ha! That image is kind of vivid. “Floral Show”? I’m gay and I didn’t know there were “Floral Shows”.
This literally looks like a parody. If they recreated this word for word on Saturday Night Live, people would think it is hilarious.
Then he says teen boys don’t like girls or Moms. Ummm he obviously was not a hetero teen boy. I know that teen boys are very interested in girls AND several Moms. Church would be an excellent place for boys and girls to learn how to work together.
He keeps bringing sexual thoughts into church.
The sex abuse problem is because they demonize homosexuality to such an extent that their homosexual boys, who don’t want to marry a woman, can’t see any life possible except the priesthood. They can’t even imagine falling in love with, and having a relationship with, another man. They are severely damaged because they have been told since birth they are broken, doomed, sinners. They go into the priesthood, Dishonestly!, because they think they have no choice.
These boys who grow into broken, lying, warped men with no concept of healthy adult sexual relationships, are then denied marriage and sex. They aren’t even allowed to masturbate! Men are designed to put out lots of sperm.
Their normal sexual urges are polluted. They sit there all alone with the pressure in their balls building up, and up, and up. Then they are put alone and in control of boys.
I’m not saying these priests are gay men. But many would have grown into normal gay men if they hadn’t been severely warped by the Church. The church basically said “you can’t love a man ever”, “here, have these boys”.
The Catholic Church is Build-a-Bear for pedophiles.
I don’t even think many of them could transition to healthy gay men. I think a lot are like Mr. Toupee up there. Completely broken.

Fortunately for the world, this pitiful man is mortal. It is unfortunate that the world must endure his mental illness that he pretends is his ministry.

Reminds me of the married guy who used to live in my building and I would catch him at the local gay watering hole on Sunday nights. His alibi was that he was lost. Yep! He sure was!
Stache
Ok I’ve watched this again. “My sins were scarlet. I will make them white as wool…I consecrated my chastity to our virgin mother. She protected it for me… I’ve been restored to life” and of coarse he blames it all on Satan. Lol
This is why I keep these people at least 100 feet away from me. I’ve been around them. I do feel sad for this guy though. What an awful Mother to of rejected her own child. Only capable of hate and conditional acceptance. He’s a great representative of how religion can really fuck up someone’s life. This video should be shown to mental health professionals as coarse work.
Stache
@joeyty: Well,, I still care what my Mom thinks. Not like this guy but I still value her opinions.
Stache
@joeyty: Speaking of that. I’m getting my Mom something extra special come Mothers Day after watching this. She had her faults to be sure. However, she accepts people as they are. Ok maybe she did try to make some rules for the Stache but that nonsense ended many years ago. Lol
reallygoodthings
Not to mention that cheap-ass wig.
joeyty
@Stache: But that means you judged her to be a person whose opinion you value, not just because she’s your mother or for any maternal/son bond.
joeyty
@Stache: BTW : My parents are cool about my sexuality, too, but that means nothing to me either way. They also thought Family Ties was a good show. (In other words, not a couple of Mensa candidates).
archiesdaddy
Well, I do not care about Michael Voris’s sins, real or imagined. What makes me sick is that the New York Archdiocese is behind his ‘outing’. He has been properly critical of the hypocrisy of the Conciliar Church. He has railed against the paedophile Priests and Bishops and they hate him for it. The Vatican II Church, ‘The Conciliar Church’ tries to present itself as ‘the church of Love’ just as ‘Pope’ Francis wants to appear loving and inclusive. It is a lie. it is a big fraud. Leave Voris alone. He will speak for himself before God. Do not mock the afflicted or the downtrodden. Tomorrow, maybe it is YOUR turn.
joeyty
@archiesdaddy: You shut up ! You have to virtually hate everybody (except for Muslims and Barbra Streisand) on Queerty.
AtticusBennett
his wig is awful. but….and while i may be wrong on this, i don’t think i am – his face shows signs of wasting. you know, “wasting”
my thoughts? he’s seroconverted and is in terror that it’s a punishment from God, as many dim-witted gay men who are slaves to dogma get convinced of, and the diagnosis has sent him fleeing into SAVE MY SOUL mode.
Stache
This should be his theme music.

I love how back in January he did a cover story about how many gay Priests there were in the in the church and how he was going to expose and root them all out.
I’ll bet this has something to do with why the church is exposing this little hypocritical duchebag.

@terry2: Seriously, dude. Lay off the drugs.
As for Mr. Vorhis being ‘over the top’ and ‘mental flips & backends’, he sure sounds like a versatile kind of guy.
But ewww.. He’s got a face like a bulldog licking piss off a nettle. Maybe he should just stay in that closet & follow a career path as the boogeyman instead.
