A Tennessee teen apparently admitted into an ex-gay camp by his parents after coming out as gay chronicled his anxieties about attending the ex-gay ministry through his blog, gaining attention from media outlets and gay activists.
NY Blade reports that Zach, a 16-year-old from Bartlett, Tenn., was sent to the ex-gay camp Refuge, associated with Love In Action near Memphis June 6 and is to remain there at least until June 20, according to his June 3 blog entry.
So they sent him to a camp where other gay people were? That’s like sending an alcoholic to a bar for an AA meeting.
His blog is gone now. I wonder if his parents are somehow responsible and forced him to delete it?
Never mind – The link through the Blade article still works.
