Four letters: Tell me again, evangelicals, how God approves of what’s done to gay people in His name
June 28, 2012 by Leave a Comment
I thought I’d share with you these four letters recently written me. You’ll see that beneath each letter I’ve (too inadequately) responded to it. If you are a straight Christian who believes that you are doing God’s work by continuing to condemn same-sex relationships, please read these letters. Please read the fifty-odd letters from gay [Read More…]

Hello from America to my Chinese friends! My name is John Shore (or, in Chinese, 蕭約翰). I am 54 years of age. I reside in the large city of San Diego, in the state of California. I am a heterosexual. I have been married to my beautiful wife for thirty-one years. This is me: [Read more…]
We’ve decided to pull this story
June 23, 2012 by
We’ve determined that it’s in the best interests of some of the key players involved in the Ugandan/transgender story to wait a bit before rolling it out. I apologize for any inconvenience. (Greatly, now that I see many of you are visiting via my friends at Advocate.com. Sorry! Allow me to humbly recommend my recent [Read More…]

June 21, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Hi, guys. The third show of my podcast is below.

As Alan “Pray Away the Gay” Chambers ties his tongue in a knot …
June 20, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Alan Chambers of Exodus International (the flagship “pray-away-the-gay” organization) has just published “Defining Exodus – Letter from Alan Chambers for June 2012,” wherein he attempts to make Exodus seem less retro-insane than most people now understand it to be. Alan’s letter is below. Inserted within it, in bracingly beautiful blue, are my comments on that [Read More…]

June 18, 2012 by Leave a Comment
First of all, let me say happy Monday! A new week! New possibilities! New challenges! New clothes, maybe, if you went out and bought some recently. I dunno. I haven’t bought any new clothes since last time I had a normal job, which was … um … gosh, when I worked in law offices about [Read More…]
Episode 2 of my podcast: Booted from my church for being a heretic
June 15, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Hi, guys. Here’s the second episode of my podcast. It’s about how I suddenly became a Christian, and then how my wife and I, since we wouldn’t sign a surprising anti-gay statement, were kicked out of our first church for being Actual Heretics. It’s so unbelievable. Anyway, this episode is the first of a series [Read More…]
