Is your child gay? Send him to straight camp!

For those of you who haven't been following the story, there is a 16-year-old boy from Tennessee named Zach who recently told his parents that he is a homosexual. So, his oh-so-kind parents decided that the best thing for him is to go to a Christian boot camp to "de-gay" him.

As if that simple fact wasn't enough to cause outrage, you must read the camp's rules which are honestly amazing. This place sounds more like a prison than a "camp." Really, if you want to get pissed off at the religious right, go read this list of rules.

Man that's horrible , they are going to de-gay him. I'll just be angry for the rest of his days and it will be easy to understand ...

 

I saw that yesterday! That really,really,really sucks...

Those rules are rediculus

 

And the worst is they won't de-gay him, it's his deep him ...

 

It's obviously complete crap. The kid is a gay, and some insane Christians aren't going to change that.


Hell, the kid isn't even allowed to talk people outside of his family or the camp. How insane is that? Just keeping him away from people won't make him "straight." Ugh, this kind of thing makes me so mad...

 

"Galatians 5:19 - 21: 19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, 21 envying, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."

I never thought I'd see the word 'orgies' in the bible







Aaanyway, that sounds like a really shitty place, I got down to the end of clothing and hygiene rules before I stopped reading

I can't believe a place like that actually exists

 

It's redneck straight conformist christian conservative positive thinking dictature

 

5. Safekeeping clients are required to spend a minimum of two hours (in one sitting) a day alone in their room (note: by ³alone² it is understood that parents or guardians can be in the room but are not to interact or disrupt the alone time of the safekeeping client). During the alone time Safekeeping clients may work on their treatment plans, read program materials or the Bible, pray, or work on other assignments from their staffworkers.



Well at least they're nice enough to let you read program materials, read the Bible, and pray when you actually have some "free time" so that you may become even more brainwashed.

 

6. No television viewing, going to movies, or reading/watching/listening to secular media of any kind, anywhere within the client¹s and the parent¹s/guardian¹s control. This includes listening to classical or instrumental music that is not expressly Christian (Beethoven, Bach, etc. are not considered Christian). The only exception to the media policy is the weekly movie.



Ahh, we all know how Beethoven and Bach make people gay!

 

they're insane

 

How can it even be legal to put someone in a program like this against their will?

 

........ we could burn and pillage the place........ I like pillaging......

 

they are minors, in the united states it has been ruled that minors have no rights..... that's life

 

Seriously, criminals aren't treated this poorly. I'd rather be in jail or the military any day.

 

And what do you think is the weekly movie ?

 

Yeah, I guess since the kid is 16 and his parents allow it, he has no choice. Of course, if I were him, I'd punch someone and get kicked out of the program.

Hah, I bet he never forgives his parents. I wouldn't.

 

And the UN convention of human rights or the UN convention of kids rights ... THe US did not signed them ?

 

5. Maintain strict confidentiality of everything discussed in group. "What is seen here, what is heard here, remains here!"

Hmm, I wonder why...

 

We should set up a commando. We could destroy this fucking place and save that guy ...

 

"Places of Honor for Women:

Respect for women may be shown by offering them first priority in a number of ways:

1. Please invite women (not just LIA clients) to be the first in line to eat.

2. Encourage women to accept the more comfortable seats in a room. Men should consider offering a woman their chair when there are none left in the room.

3. Men should think about opening doors for women, both when entering a building and when entering a car. This simply adds a level of respect, consideration, and value."




at least they know that
