as a queer Christian, i've been following this story with a mix of anger and horror. such programs are about as anti-grace as they can be...
what really scares me is how effective these people are at convincing young people that they are not loved, not acceptable to God, and outside of grace. queer teens commit suicide at alarming rates, and this rhetoric and practice is a huge part of the problem.
it's just sad all around...
