Phillp Yancey tells of his friendship with Mel White, a former consultant for christian films, who battled a same sex attraction since his early teenage years. He also tells of how christian men and women for whom Mell had worked for and made them loads of money, dropped Mel quicker than a hot potato when Mel came out as being gay.

Mel tells about how he prayed so many times to God to not be gay, under went aversion therapy which delivered electric hocks at times of high arrousal, under went exorcisms generally the whole kit and cabudle. It got me thinking, being delivered from being gay is not nearly as simple as the fundies would have me believe. And it makes me wonder if someone can so desperately desire to be straight and prays and asks God to deliver them, hmmm well some deep thoughts
