The first thing that came to mind reading the story is of those who speak at AA meetings. We hear about how wrong they were when they drank and how, after seeing the "light", they found the correct way.
(Excerpt)...he was busy contemplating queer theory, marching in gay rights rallies and urging young people to celebrate (not just accept) their same-sex attractions......I had never met anyone so sure of himself. (End)
After his "conversion" (Excerpt)....he said that he was “repulsed to think about homosexuality” and that he was “going to do what I can to fight it.”........(End)
My point is, just like the person who gives up alcohol, they were right when they were drinking and they are right now. They are never wrong at the moment.
And let’s not forget the attention. Again, like many a converted drinker, the typical loud mouth was always right then and after a conversion, guess what, once again the center of attention telling people how right they are now.
As for his homosexuality I think it had more to do with getting attention (friends, family, public rallies, etc) than actually being a homosexual. After the “newness” wore off he switched sides and put himself back in the limelight.
Personally, I would put any credence on anything he says.
