Teenage blogger released from “ex-gay” camp

by Duncan Riley

The Tennesse teen that drew attention to the rise of “ex-gay” camps in the United States after blogging about being forced by his parents to attend one, has been released after 6 weeks.

Zach writes on his blog that he believes that he is no longer gay, and now defends his captors of 6 weeks…. Brain washing can do that.

    If that really works, then all of this nonsense about gay marriage can go away, now that it won’t be needed, although I doubt it actually worked. I bet somebody paid him to say he is no longer gay.

    God, I hope he’s not serious about that. It makes me very sad.
