I'm sure others will join too.

Since I'm finally getting my ass in gear on prior commitments, I'll defer to Succubus on creating the first draft and offer what help I can with later versions. From the material on this thread alone, we should definitely end up with something quite convincing.

posted a comment on there. post that link the media section so people can leave more comments :D

A couple of other resources for the supporting evidence:

Tory's video: "Scientology and Gays"

YouTube - Scientology and Gays

Rambles a bit but I'm sure you can cherry pick a good quote

Just be sure that you know your stuff - it's not like LGBT people are going to die of shock when they find out that a "Religion" doesn't like them, so stuff like the Tone Scale and Jo'burg Confessional will be helpful.

If I keep procrastinating on my other commitments, I could knock up a quick CoS LGBT fact sheet fairly soon.

Do it, that'd be absolutely awesome.

If we drop some stuff about Quentin Hubbard and the suspicious circumstances surrounding his death, then we might have a semi-controllable shitstorm on our hands. I'll be at NUS LGBT, too.

I can't wait for the full interview. This is going to kick scientology in the nuts. IMO, there is mountains of evidence on this front. All that needs to be done is to compile it into a nice little press-friendly package.

Yup-this definetely needs to be mentioned.Another example of how Scientology,which claims to be open to everybody,is actally homophobic.It sounds like this auditor(i presume it was an auditor) made the automatic assumption gay=PTS/SP

Just wondering, does anyone reading have accounts on ocmb, esk or ex-scn? If so could you post about the campaign there?

Yeah I can post as soon as I get a couple things emailed this morning. :D

Edit as I'm going:

Ex-Scientolgy Kids Forum

This sounds awesome, and so I approached a friend of mine who is part of the "Gay Straight Alliance" at my college, and he has agreed that if I supply him with the appropriate pages of information, then he'll see what he can do at their next meeting. So if peoples can direct me to pages, etc. which might be decent for this, then please do.

Apparently someone got your letter. Awesome job!

Actor Jason Beghe, known for his roles on CSI and Numb3rs, posted this video on YouTube this week in which he denounces Scientology.

In a scary sort of way, Beghe shows how crazy Scientology can actually make you.

After a lot of discussion that I didn't understand about "theta traps" and "reactive minds," Beghe says that Scientologists think they're "fucking doing something to save the planet."

At the same time Jason was ranting, we received a very well put together e-mail that claims Scientologists want to cure homosexuality.

I'm just going to publish the entire anonymous letter, because frankly it is better than anything I could have done. It cites sources and everything. Our research team is too busy wasting their day away reading Queerty and TMZ to put anything this well thought out together.

"Dear Sir or Madam,

I would like to draw your attention to a recent claim that the Church of Scientology attempts to “cure” homosexual behaviour.

Canadian author Ian Halperin posed as a gay actor to research his new book. He describes one encounter with the Church of Scientology as follows:

“When I told them I was gay they told me that they could de-programme my homosexuality though a technique called auditing and that was one of the first times that they admitted on record that they could do that.”

Mr Halperin’s story appears to be corroborated by the testimony of ex-Scientologists themselves. Recently, Kendra Wiseman, daughter of a prominent Scientologist, has related this story:

“The first and last time I ever kissed a woman was at a private party. I kissed her in front of a [Scientology] member who went home and immediately wrote a full-length report on what she had seen, and sent it to my senior and my parents. I was disciplined for this at work, and cautioned against this behavior at home. And lemme tell ya, there’s nothing more embarrassing than your boss and your dad reading a full blow-by-blow of your one and only lesbian experience.”

On the other hand, gay Scientologist Keith Relkin speaking in 2000 clearly contradicts both statements:

“… What’s more, Scientology has the most iron-clad, non-discriminatory policy I’ve ever come across regarding sexual orientation.”

Also of note is Michael Pattinson, who says the following based on 24 years’ membership of the cult:

“Being gay, even when only in thought, is incompatible with being on staff, and also with being a Scientologist at all.”

There is clearly a controversy here but I have no doubt that ‘reparative therapy’ for LGBT people is harmful and discriminatory. I would therefore appreciate it if you could give this issue your attention.

Yours,

Anonymous"

I wish they would spend some time trying to cure AIDS, cancer or even my seasonal allergies. Why waste your time on trying to cure 'the gay'?!

And hopefully Jason Beghe can cleanse himself of the crazy sometime soon too! His video makes him look a bit wacky!

Thanks, muchly appreciated ^-^
I've had more correspondence with a few members of the alliance and they said they could well be able to get a lot more support and will discuss amongst themselves what their options for possible protesting are, I'm only really a deliverer of info to them, but yeah, should hopefully bring epic results if they can really get the support they've hinted to me is available.

In the US, I recommend focusing on News and Information. The lifestyle, health and travel mags will pick up on the story if it gets seeded enough, and seeded well. Usual media standards apply: send a well-written, factual, to-the-point press release along with contact info, if someone is willing to be (or already is) Unanimous for this most epic of wins. Not having a contact is also an option, of course. Also, don't forget their websites and other online spaces.
