How is it that officials at the Human Rights Campaign, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, the Empire State Pride Agenda, and other prominent gay groups got suckered by a 25-year-old heterosexual evangelical Christian, a man who promised to be their gay-friendly savior but who was simultaneously giving training sessions to antigay groups and calling homosexuality a "sin" on Christian radio? The simple answer is: They wanted to believe.

I just finished reading the "Advocate" article you linked to. What a creep! This one sounds like a sociopath who's playing both sides of the street, or it could be that peculiar mix of sincerity and skullduggery that swarms within a evangelical Christian's brain.

Maybe he does not see the anti-gay groups as anti gay and maybe he sees gays as friends who are also sinners??? Too bad he does not see the poweer hungry machine behind the anti-gay groups. He probably was sincere in the beginning.

I just keep seeing the poster on Fox Mulder's office on The X-Files: "I Want To Believe."
Evil-angelicals are nothing but a sneaky, slimy bunch of "hetlers" out to destroy the community from the inside. Ironically, Andrew Marin is the only one screwing people in the ass.
I can agree, Adam, but unfortunately, the squeaky wheel gets the oil. Fundamental evangelicals are getting the press, so they are the ones that most people identify with evangelical christians. It's not right, I know. But I don't see progressive evangelicals standing up and speaking louder. As a gay man of faith, I wish they would.
