''My move to the suburbs was strictly the spirit of the Lord operating in my life. Even though I was a heathen then, I know it was divinely ordained by God. Now, I go to the Montgomery County school boards and speak out against the gay agenda.... There is a large population of ex-gays, but they dare not speak as I speak about being ex-gay. They dare not associate too openly with me because then people may think they are ex-gay.''
J. Grace Harley, an "ex-lesbian," and one of the very few people that reporter Amanda Hess of the Washington CityPaper could actually find in the DC/MD/VA area that claim to be ex-gay. Yet operatives like Harley and the leaders of PFOX (not to be confused with the original pro-gay P-FLAG) position themselves as leaders of a great movement. Inspiration for the investigation appears to be the recent ruling by an area judge that ex-gays should be a protected class, but that exclusion of their political efforts at an NEA conference is in no way illegal. Conclusion: Ex-gay movement is money moving toward a whole lot of nothin'. (Washington City Paper)
