Posted on Aug 8, 2007 | by Erin Roach NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)–Even when he was deep in the sin of homosexuality, Michael Glatze knew it was wrong. And now Glatze, a former leader in the homosexual movement, is telling the story of his former life while exposing homosexuality for the empty, lustful lie it is.

“Homosexuality, delivered to young minds, is by its very nature pornographic,” Glatze wrote in a column published by WorldNetDaily in July. “It destroys impressionable minds and confuses their developing sexuality; I did not realize this, however, until I was 30 years old.”

Although Glatze’s new religion of Mormonism denies essential elements of Christianity, his story of leaving homosexuality is nonetheless significant.
The founding editor of Young Gay America magazine, Glatze declared himself “gay” at age 20, and two years later he launched an ambitious and successful career of recruiting other young men to embrace the homosexual lifestyle. A favorite interview source for major media outlets, Glatze was atop the ladder of something that was supposedly groundbreaking and invigorating. But he knew something wasn’t right.

“I feel strongly God has put me here for a reason,” the Dartmouth-educated Glatze told WND. “Even in the darkest days of late-night parties, substance abuse and all kinds of things — when I felt like, ‘Why am I here, what am I doing?’ — there was always a voice there. I didn’t know what to call it, or if I could trust it, but it said ‘hold on.'”

It was after viewing a tape of himself speaking at the JFK Jr. Forum at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government in 2005 that Glatze began to seriously doubt what he was doing with his life and influence, he said.

“Soon, I began to understand things I’d never known could possibility be real, such as the fact that I was leading a movement of sin and corruption …,” Glatze wrote in his column. “It became clear to me, as I really thought about it — and really prayed about it — that homosexuality prevents us from finding our true self within. We cannot see the truth when we’re blinded by homosexuality.”

During most of his time in the homosexual lifestyle, any doubts that crept up were quickly banished by culture and world leaders assuring him that he was doing the right thing, Glatze noted, and he justified his behavior because it was “accepted” by law.

“God is regarded as an enemy by many in the grip of homosexuality or other lustful behavior, because He reminds them of who and what they truly are meant to be,” Glatze wrote. “People caught in the act would rather stay ‘blissfully ignorant’ by silencing truth and those who speak it, through antagonism, condemnation and calling them words like ‘racist,’ ‘insensitive,’ ‘evil’ and ‘discriminatory.'”
