Every single group or position against LGBT rights bases that opposition one one factor: being gay is a choice. Ex-gay groups like Exodus and NARTH, the group Rekers has just resigned from, can only exist because far right religious groups pump money into them based upon this false claim that Gay is a choice.
Dana Elmendorf is the President of the Steel City Stonewall Democrats (SCSD), and she shared with me a letter to the editor she wrote for the City Paper. SCSD is a gay-rights group in Western Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh PA.
