Some time ago I and others wrote about a 16 year old Tennessee boy who was being sent by his parents to a camp called Love in Action that claims to help gays become ex-gay.

Zach is back blogging and says after his six weeks at Love In Action his is longer longer gay.

Currently I feel annoyed towards a lot of things. Love In Action has been misrepresented and what I have posted in my blogs has been taken out of perspective and context. I don’t take back the things I’ve said, nor am I going to pretend like it never happened. It did. I refuse to deal with people who are only focused on their one-sided (biased) agendas. It isn’t fair to anyone. I’m very frustrated with the things going on in my life now, but everyone has their issues. Homosexuality is still a factor in my life— it’s not who I am, it never has been. Those of you who really know me, know that homosexuality was always there but it didn’t run my life, and it will not now.

…But, I’m still alive. I don’t believe I’ve been brainwashed. It’s almost insulting, thinking about it, to be brainwashed. I think that I’m going to be ok. I could write forever on how content I felt when I signed on, because of all of the messages, comments, etc.
