Check out this video of an ""ex-gay"" (in double quotes because of its overwhelming redonkulousness) talking about the "sin" of homosexuality.

Where to begin....

• Okay Mary, that gold lamé scarf thing isn't helping you in your quest to come off as straight.
• You might want to work on your hand gesturing. Try to be a little less mincing.
• Girrrrl, the only way you could look gayer was if there was a penis in your mouth.

(S)he ends the speech with the words, "It's so obvious, it's so clear." Yes honey, it's clearly obvious you're still a big old nancy who is (poorly) repressing your nature. In addition to my revulsion, I feel sorry for you and hope you'll be able to overcome your religion damage and lead the happy gay life you so desperately want to have.

Unless it's a parody and I missed the joke....

I am pretty sure it is a parody. It's gotta be.

The reason for the confusion of whether it is or isn't a parody is good ol' Poe's Law. If it isn't a parody (and there is evidence that it isn't one too, check out the guy's web site, which is pretty elaborate if it is just a parody), then he's a pretty sick cookie. Like, "Carrie's Mother" crazy. I can see your dirty pillows!

I like the title that Towleroad put on this one, something along the lines of "Does my Gold-Flecked Ascot Make Me Look Ex-Gay?"

But look at the site it "advertises". That looks pretty legit.

Something possessed BJ to shave his chest two days ago, so he's more of a porcupine. Blech!

And now I have Neil Diamond's Porcupine Pie running in my head.

Porcupine Pie, Porcupine Pie, Porcupine Pie
Vanilla Soup, a double scoop please.... No

Maybe I won't, maybe I will, maybe I'll have
the tutti fruit, with fruity blue cheese

Ah but Porcupine Pie, Porcupine Pie, Porcupine Pie
don't let it get on your jeans

And though it sounds a little strange but
you gotta eat it with gloves or your hands will turn green

Ah but porcupine pie, porcupine pie, porcupine pie
weaves its way through my dreams

I do believe I'm gonna try some and
leave enough room for dessert, the chicken ripple ice cream.

This time it's a gay cougar using Orangina as aftershave.

Help me understand this GLAAD Call to Action:I get that they're wanting a correction about the misinformation about AIDS infection rates. What I don't understand is the objection to "down low". What's the problem there? Is "down low" now a pejorative?

I think it's just poor wording on the part of the GLAAD. There's nothing to evidence The View used "down low" in any other way but descriptively.
