If you’re feeling gay – you must stay that way – at least according to the world’s largest bookseller: Amazon. That’s correct. If you have same-sex attractions you apparently have been born that way, and despite the fact that there probably thousands of ex-gays out there, Amazon’s thought police don’t want you to know that changing your sexual orientation is even a possibility ~
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos wants to be the arbiter of acceptable thought. At least, that’s the warning cry after Amazon’s recent decision to ban the sale of several controversial books about conversion therapy.
This includes books by Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, a practitioner of conversion therapy and famous figure in the “ex-gay” movement. His titles, including works such as Healing Homosexuality and Reparative Therapy of Male Homosexuality, are still available through their publisher. Amazon’s decision also affects several books by people who say they have recovered from homosexuality and no longer consider themselves gay.
While the author of this piece at the Washington Examiner, Brad Polumbo (who himself is gay) claims that conversion therapy is a fraud, that position denies the experience – and the very existence – of these folks ➡ Ex-gays rip Amazon for banning reparative therapy books, keeping pro-suicide books ~
Ex-gays, who launched a petition earlier this week after Amazon banned books aimed at helping those with unwanted same-sex attraction, are continuing to pressure the retail giant to reverse its decision, calling out Amazon’s blatant hypocrisy.
“Hey! Amazon and LGBTQ activists, it is disingenuous to use the suicide argument as a reason to remove the exLGBTQ Christian’s testimony and Christian discipleship books,” wrote Daren Mehl, founder of Voice of the Voiceless, an organization that seeks to defend the rights of former homosexuals and those with unwanted same-sex attraction (SSA). “That lie doesn’t work.” […]
Mehl called out Amazon’s hypocrisy, asserting that if the online giant truly cared “about suicide and preventing books from contributing to suicides, as you claim your motivation for the actions of removing our books,” the many books that Amazon now sells on how to commit suicide would have banned a long time ago […]
“Isn’t it great that Amazon took my audiobooks down from every platform so they don’t risk offending anyone?” asked Jeremy Schwab, a former homosexual and founder of Joel 2:25, a ministry whose mission is to help men and women who experience same-sex attraction, encouraging relational healing, sexual sobriety, and spiritual growth […]
Schwab told LifeSiteNews that the audio and Kindle versions of the books banned by Amazon are now no longer available anywhere.
“That’s the main problem,” said Schwab, “they have a virtual monopoly.”
He explained that this presents a real problem: “In my ministry, Joel 2:25, we have members spread across many cities and countries and cannot afford to have books printed and shipped everywhere, so the audible and kindle format was the only way for many to access them.” […]
“Every time we create our own app, the gay activists force Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc. to remove us,” Schwab said. “They are trying to cut us off on every side and they have never even read our material. They have no idea what they are even opposing.”
Are these people living in serious denial? Amazon must think so. Otherwise, why ban their personal testimonies?
Look, it shouldn’t matter if you’re gay or not. But if you don’t really want to be – (say, like the large percentage of homosexuals who were sexually molested as children) why would Amazon deny help in changing your orientation? Not very tolerant of them is it?

“The Way” out of gay ~
“Such Were Some of You” (A Documentary) was inspired by the passage in 1st Corinthians 6:11 that declares that in Jesus’ day there was a population who had been so transformed by their relationship with Him that they were no longer “same-sex attracted” or at the very least, actively homosexual. They had found such a measure of healing from the brokenness and strongholds associated with what we now call homosexuality that they no longer considered themselves homosexual, nor did they act in that way. “Such Were Some of You” features interviews with a “cloud of present-day witnesses” who testify to the same life-transforming power of Jesus Christ. They describe the development of their same-sex attractions, what the gay lifestyle was like, what their conversion process was like, and the various ways that Jesus has brought healing to their broken places.
