PFOX Urges Students
To Invite Ex-Gay Speakers
February 28, 2006 -
Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays (PFOX) has just issued an invitation for
students to invite ex-gays to address their students. As part of this
educational effort, PFOX has produced a number of brochures for distribution.
These are available on the web site under "Downloadable PDF Brochures."
The PFOX invitation is reprinted below:
Invite an Ex-Gay Speaker to address your school!
Has your college hosted an ex-gay speaker yet? Does your university present
sexual orientation issues without including the ex-gay perspective? Are you
tired of your school holding gay pride or diversity/tolerance events without
including former homosexuals?
Ex-gay presentations are vital for others to recognize the ex-gay community and
realize there is more to sexual orientation than celebrating gay events. Equal
access to school facilities by ex-gays supports sexual orientation diversity and
tolerance. Ask your student club or school to sponsor an ex-gay speaker today!
Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays (PFOX) can provide ex-gay speakers and
informative handouts on sexual orientation. Speakers are former gay activists
who now represent the ex-gay viewpoint in public forums and debates surrounding
the issue of homosexuality. They are experienced in speaking on sexual
orientation issues on college campuses and public settings across the country.
Speakers present scientifically accurate information on the nature of
homosexuality and the potential of change from homosexual to heterosexual.
Sample speaking topics include:
- Diversity includes former homosexuals
- Civil rights or special rights for gays
- Is change possible? Sexual reorientation and the ex-gay community
- Intolerance against ex-gays by gay activist groups
- Is homosexuality genetic? The varying theories behind the development
of sexual orientation
- Why did I change from gay to straight?
