“I knew I was gay from a young age, and in college, in my Ethics class, we were taught ‘facts’ about homosexuality that didn’t connect at all with my experience. Such things as, people become gay through being recruited, usually at a bar (I’d never been to a bar and as far as I knew, I’d never met a gay person).”

Ken Ham — The Evolution of a Bully: Jeri Lofland’s Thoughts

“Ken Ham was banned from speaking at a homeschool convention in Cincinnati after making ‘mean-spirited’ remarks about another speaker, a Bible scholar and theologian who approaches the Old Testament very differently than Ham does.

“My parents still love me. They are from a different time, a different age, and aren’t quite able to cope with the entire truth. But they know who their son is, and they love him anyway.
