A former activist in the gay rights movement who left homosexuality for a relationship with God in 2007 has drawn the ire of homosexual activists after marrying a woman on Oct. 26.

In a column for WND, Michael Glatze, who founded Young Gay America and was the editor of the group’s magazine, responded to the criticisms. He said the month of marriage to his wife, Rebekah, has been “the greatest month of [his] life thus far.

[Former Gay Activist Responds to Critics After Marrying a Woman

I am aware there are people out there that were gay but living the straight lifestyle. Yet in cases like this they were usually bisexual. Others around are closeted married to the opposite sex. Do you think this guy is now straight, bisexual or in denial?

I hope he is happy in his new marriage. As to your question, who am I to judge his sexuality? Live and let live. We all need to stay out of adult's bedrooms.

Saying you left homosexuality is like saying you decided to leave your DNA.

Then going so as far as to actually marry a woman seems to be a very profound way to deny your DNA.

This guy was very active gay rights activist according to someone that knew him in his early days.

Michael had seemingly read every gay book ever written. While I was busy trying to secure a boyfriend, he was busy contemplating ***** theory, marching in gay rights rallies and urging young people to celebrate (not just accept) their same-sex attractions. Michael was devoted to helping gay youth, and he was particularly affected by the letters the magazine received regularly from teenagers who were rejected by their religious families. “Christian fundamentalists should burn in hell!” he told me once, slamming his fist on his desk. I had never met anyone so sure of himself.

Many young gay men looked up to him.

Even so he could have been a bitterly unhappy person such as a relationship breakdown and other breakdowns in his life at that time and that why he decided to change his life around.

Sexuality is fluid. I don't have any problem believing that his preferences may have shifted. Perhaps he was always bisexual. Who knows?

What I have a problem with is taking this story and using it as a torch for the "being gay is a choice" nonsense. If being gay was a choice, we'd certainly hear from a LOT more ex-gays.

He wrote "Homosexuality is death, and I choose life.” I command him for admitting his mistakes and choosing the right path.

He ignited gay people's anger for marrying someone of the opposite sex. Can't make this stuff up.
