No, PFOX, you only think you will be promoting Ex-Gay Awareness Month. In truth, you'll be helping us promote the toxic, dangerous, anti-scientific, downright eliminationist ideals to which mainstream conservatives still so often pander, even at the obvious detriment of their chosen political party's national profile.
