Pray the Straight Away

Published: Feb. 2, 2021, 7 a.m.

Episode 62: Tim talks about his dear friend Ross, a man who frequents the park where Tim walks his charming, leash-aggressive pup Winifred. Ross (Tim's delightful friend) holds an affinity for calling Tim a faggot.

And then, to turn the tables (as a table turner) on the history of Pray the Gay Away camps and humanity's storied history of homophobia, Tim shares a story about two heterosexual students pulled into the principal's office to discuss their disgusting habit.

He took a deep breath. “Why don’t you take a look at Mark 19:12teen: He who lies with she as he should be lying with he, and she who lies with he as she should be lying with she, are destined for eternal suffering.”

Pete frowned while the counselor nodded at the students as though that particular piece of scripture had answered all their questions. “What?” Pete said. “I didn’t get that.”

“God wants you to suck dick!” the counselor yelled at Pete. “The lord wants you jerking off other dudes. Why else would He have given you a dick of your own to practice with?”
