Presidential Proclamation—Proud to Be No Longer Gay Month

An important chapter in our great Nation’s unfinished story is the movement for fairness and equality on behalf of the People Who are NO LONGER lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. This month, as we recognize the immeasurable contributions of People Who Are NO LONGER GAY, we renew our commitment to the struggle for equal rights for NO LONGER GAY Americans and to ending prejudice and injustice against Christians wherever it exists.

NO LONGER GAY Americans have enriched and strengthened the fabric of our national life. From business leaders and professors to athletes and first responders, NO LONGER GAY individuals have achieved success and prominence in every discipline. They are our mothers and fathers, our sons and daughters, and our friends and neighbors. Across every administration, NO LONGER GAY employees are serving at every level. Thanks to so many who came before us, the brave men and women who are the Evidence of change who humbled themselves and admitted that homosexuality is sin, repented and turned 180 degrees from gay life, who marched through years of being alone with God, refusing to conform to this world as they experienced complete transformation by the renewing of their minds; who stood up to false prophesy as well as hate wolves in ‘Christian’ clothing, and brought change through acts of compassion and testimonial transparency.

People Who Are NO LONGER GAY have made enormous progress and continue to strive for a more perfect union.

NO LONGER GAY Americans must advance the journey by standing against any extension of the Hate Crimes Prevention Act which unfortunately positioned at the right time with the right President will serve to

weaken Christians and ministers of the truth who publically proclaim, in any pulpit in America that homosexuality is sin.

Additionally, we must fight to have evangelistic resources by NO LONGER GAY people included in

the Department of Health and Human Services National Resource Center for LGBT Elders. It’s NEVER too late to change.

Much work remains to return to our Nation’s pledge that we are one Nation, under GOD [the one and only true and living God] that He is indivisible [God=Jesus Christ=The Word of God] with liberty and justice for all [by grace through faith.] We must stop being afraid to offend others by proclaiming the name of Jesus Christ publically.

People Who Are NO LONGER GAY, must stand against giving gay couples the same rights and responsibilities afforded to any married couple and uphold the Defense of Marriage Act. We must protect the rights of children being adopted into gay households as same-sex parenting is NOT what God intended when He created the institution of marriage and family.

In other areas, NO LONGER GAY Americans continue to stand against employment discrimination against LGBT Americans and fully support the renewed Ryan White CARE Act, which provides life saving medical services and support to Americans living with HIV/AIDS. NO LONGER GAY Americans support the memorandum directing hospitals receiving Medicare and Medicaid funds to give LGBT patients the compassion and security they deserve in their time of need, including the ability to choose someone other than an immediate family member to visit them and make medical decisions.

Perhaps most importantly, NO LONGER GAY Americans must continue to fight to create safer schools as all of our children are being systematically indoctrinated by LGBT culture to question their own sexuality. NO LONGER GAY Americans must boldly stand before students of primary and secondary education, to proclaim that no one is born gay and stand as EVIDENCE that change is not only possible, but obvious.

As we honor the NO LONGER GAY Americans who have given so much to our Nation and to the Kingdom of God , let us remember that by affirming these rights and values, each American benefits from the further advancement of spiritual liberty and justice for all.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, CHARLENE E. COTHRAN, President of The Evidence Ministry, Inc., by virtue of the authority vested in me by Jesus Christ, do hereby proclaim June 2010 as PROUD TO BE NO LONGER GAY Month. I call upon all Americans to observe this month by giving God praise and glory for the lives He has changed.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand ten.

CHARLENE E. COTHRAN
