I have been pretty impressed that this thread has maintained a positive note even when sometimes we have faced set backs in this struggle.

I don't think taking help from a" late comer" is a bad thing. I recall a time when queer folk "shunned" late comers ( like women who had lived as a married heterosexual with kids and the picket fence). I think a part of our practicing a greater understanding an acceptance of one another needs to extend to this guy. MANY MANY queers led lives quite similar to this guy. Where do we end the hate and blaming? When do we stop being suspect of anyone who makes such a change in their lives?

Yep. I totally get the frustration, but I would much rather spend my energy fighting the Evangelical Churches ( of every religion) than fighting someone who has come out and now supports us. It isn't just old tired white Christians.
All of the Evangelical zealots would have us banned.
