http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/ex-gay-activists-says-nobody-born-gay-they-are-just-born-sensitive-temperamentFrom the article:
"Ex-gay" activist Christopher Doyle was a guest on the American Family Association's "Today's Issues" radio broadcast this morning where he informed hosts Tim Wildmon and Ed Vitagliano that nobody is born gay but rather some people are simply born with a "sensitive temperament" that makes them think they are gay.
"There's no such thing as a gay gene or gay hormones or gay brain. Those studies have been debunked," Doyle said. "What the sensitive temperament does is it makes the client more vulnerable to experiencing these hurts and this lack of attachment and bonding growing up. And whenever they get to puberty, they start unconsciously sexualizing all those emotional need to the same sex."
Stop it already. Stop, dammit. No. Just no.

Is he an activist who is, "ex-gay," or is he a straight activist with ex-gay groups? If it's the latter, whatever, dude. If it's the former, we should start a betting pool for how long it takes him to, "fall off the wagon."

I get that feeling too. It's usually just around the corner with these folks.

Not only is he into this ex-gay bullshit, but he's training other people how to do it too. Ridiculous.
Should be charged with negligence or fraud or something.
