Yvette Cantu Schneider is the latest
“ex-gay” leader to renounce the movement.
In a
blog post for GLAAD, Schneider, who is promoting her book Never
Not Broken: A Journey of Unbridled Transformation, explained
that she began questioning the movement in 2008, as Christian
conservatives came together to help approve Proposition 8,
California's now-invalid constitutional amendment which defined
marriage as a heterosexual union.
Jeremy Hooper, special projects
consultant for GLAAD, described Schneider as having “one of the
most robust pedigrees of anyone who has ever worked in the so-called
'ex-gay' movement.”
“From the late nineties right through
to the second decade of the twenty-first century, Yvette managed to
find herself laboring for and with just about every top anti-LGBT
group and activist you've heard of,” Hooper wrote. “From her
high-profile start at the Family Research Council to her work with
California's Proposition 8 campaign – with many stops, at many
different groups and campaigns along the way – Yvette became one of
that movement's most visible faces and certainly one of the most
known women in a line of 'work' known mainly for its male
spokespeople.”
In an interview with Hooper, Schneider
said that many of her former colleagues were unconvinced that
altering a person's sexuality is possible.
“Many people I knew suspected all
along that change – true change where all same-sex attractions
disappear or become rare and incidental, and heterosexual attractions
take their place – never happened,” she
said. “I can say I've never met an 'ex-gay' man I thought was
not still attracted to men and would not go back to gay relationships
under the right circumstances. One of my colleagues tried to fix me
up with an 'ex-gay' man when I was still single. I said, 'No way. I
have no interest in dating an ex-gay man. I don’t trust that
they're actually ex-gay.' … This particular 'ex-gay' man who was to
be my date was caught having sex with a man about a year later.”
“That gay men could be considered
'ex-gay' was questioned many times during my tenure at FRC,” he
added.
When asked about her own sexuality,
Schneider, who once called homosexuality “bondage,” answered:
“I've always been drawn to intense emotional connections. I look
for something about a person that excites me and makes me want to
spend time with them and know more about them. Part of that, of
course, is physical attraction. If the person happens to be a woman
or a man is inconsequential to me. For most of my life I've been
more attracted to women than to men, but my attractions also depend
on personal qualities, not gender. Fifteen years ago when I met the
man I would eventually marry, we had an instant connection. Anyone
who knows us can see we're soul mates. Could I have had an equally
strong bond with a woman? Of course.”
Fuck this bisexual bitch and her new book...yeah, lets make more blood money off the gay community because she now see's the tide turning against reparative fucking therapy.
She knew all along she was bisexual and pretended and used this knowledge to willingly continue backing the FRC and her fellow Christian terrorist...rot in hell fascist bitch for all the gay lives you ruined and destroyed, just for money!
