My friend Wayne Besen was on Rachel Maddow's show last night were he and Rachel discussed Christine O'Donnell, Delaware’s bizarre and extreme GOP Senate nominee, and her deep roots in the so-called “ex-gay” industry. I've known Wayne for over seven years and often do legal and other research for him from time to time since we both want to see the fraudulent "ex-gay" myth killed once and for all. Wayne and Rachel among other things discussed O'Donnell's "The Savior’s Alliance for Lifting the Truth (SALT)," and its ex-gay program led by Wade Richards. Wayne had debated Richards during the period Richards had succumbed to the ex-gay brainwashing. When Richards finally came out of the closet - and found much more happiness - O’Donnell, like the "loving Christian," she pretends to be abandoned Richards and showed her true colors. Here's a video of Wayne and Rachel:

Programs like the one run by SALT continue to harm LGBT lives and, worse yet, provide political cover for those who like to claim that sexual orientation is a choice. It's a lie, of course, but then lying is synonymous with "family values" and "pro-family" professional Christians.
