Plane to Ex Gays: You Can't Pray the Gay Away
In a provocative move from the It Gets Better Project, an airplane is scheduled to fly overhead reminding attendees that you can't simply "pray the gay away" during one of the more popular conferences for sexual orientation therapy.

Exodus International's Love Won Out conference is taking place this Saturday at the Sugar Creek Baptist Church, located near Houston. The plane is scheduled to fly around downtown Houston at noon Saturday telling Exodus and other antigay groups condoning "reparative therapy" that "you can't pray away the gay."

1. I wish you could pray the stupid away.
Or pray the hateful away...

I can't believe how bigoted many in this world continue to be, and it seems their hateful rhetoric is growing louder these last few years.

6. To get rid of the stupid, you have to STOP praying.

11. Ba-da BING!
You got that one! The believer "knows" because they are told. The skeptic learns because s/he asks questions.

9. They have help
The 1%ers are a large part of the hate generating. It's a good way to keep the less well informed workers from looking at the bottom line(they're getting robbed blind by the rich) and attacking an approved scapegoat(Gays, Feminists, Muslims, etc.)

It works altogether too well. One of my former co-workers was once heard to say that "All of our problems come out of Berkley!"

aka: "If we all turned off our brains and obeyed, everything would be PERFECT!"

One word: *BAAAAA!!!!*
