Video: Ex-Gay Conversion Report from Down Under
February 25th, 2010
An interesting report featured last night on ABC Australia’s Hungry Beast. The ex-gay featured could be a spokesperson for Exodus International, he is that spot on. It’s also interesting that one of the gay men describes having been introduced to gay clubs through an affair with this team leader in an ex-gay program. This tracks with a statement by Peterson Toscano (if anyone remembers that, please post in the comments).

John,
Thanks for your update.
I have read much on this blog, though not all of it where your assertion may be present, and have not seen it stated that he was answering for his partner. Nor did Grantdale himself come forward and clarify upon request. For newbies to come to this sight and assume “we” stands for a couple and not for everyone listening, without explanation in each comment, seems unreasonable. For the sake of newbies and un-regular commenters that do not have privy to your clarification, it can be confusing. I stand by my above statement.

In this very thread they made a humorous comment about their first night together. See if you can find it. It can sort of be like our own Where’s Waldo?
John,
Cheeky, though it doesn’t change the confusing formula of “we” equals Waldo. Though not the rule, in partnerships I have found most to have some s’emblance of autonomy when speaking ones mind.
Cheers
Marty, it’s just how they decided to post and they have been around here since the first days. I’ve been here since about 2004 if you count lurking and it has come up maybe 2-3 times in that period. No on faults you for misunderstanding, but now that you know, there is no reason to ridicule them for it.
We wouldn’t want to encourage people to do the dual nickname because then it really would get confusing, but grantdale are sort of “grandfathered in” so to speak. Let’s just consider it part of their charm and leave it at that, ok?
As for autonomy, one does not necessarily speak for the other, rather one or the other may be commenting at any particular time, Grant or Dale.
Back to the topic…
