I have said, and I will continue to say till my last breath on this earth, there is no such thing as an ex-gay or ex-lesbian. Next in line is Anne Paulk. Any takers?

Yvette Schneider, one of the most prominent poster children for the American ‘ex-gay’ movement, has come out in favor of LGBTI rights and as bisexual and has joined the call for so-called 'reparative therapies' that aim to change people’s sexualities to be banned for minors.
Schneider made the revelation via a series of blog posts with the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) – an organization she herself once volunteered for in the early 1990’s while identifying as a lesbian.
However a conversion to Christianity in the late 1990’s lead to her rejecting her same-sex attraction and joining the ex-gay movement, eventually working for the virulently anti-LGBTI Family Research Council and speaking on behalf of campaigns by the American Family Association.

‘Not only is the efficacy of change therapy dubious at best, but the type of therapy this legislation bans is specifically for minors. It’s damaging to take a child who is questioning his or her sexuality, or who may display qualities that are not in line with what our society considers normative for their gender, and communicate to the child - and parents - that there is something wrong with him, that in some way he or she is deficient.
