The International "Healing" Foundation

Richard Cohen. Richard, Richard, Richard. *tsk* *tsk* Richard. Finger-wag, finger-wag! Your in time out. Go to the naughty chair! No more PlayStation. Your grounded indefinitely! Richard Simmons will be upstairs momentarily to give you a spanking.

Richard Cohen wrote the book entilted...gag-gag...sorry. Ok. I YouTube'd "Kate Moennig" for a minute and I'm feeling more empowered.

The book is entitled Coming Out Straight: Understanding and Healing Homosexuality (Oakhill Press 2000). Richard, you see, "was" a fag and now he's "not". Cuz he be a'curin himself. He wants to share with you what he has "discovered over the past thirty years of personal and professional investigation". Richard, according to his webpage, believes among other things that:

  • Homosexuality is a "Same-Sex Attachment Disorder".

  • Anyone who experiences same-sex attractions is latently heterosexual and merely stuck in an early stage of pychosexual development.


Richard, I would like to share with you what I have learned from my thirty years of queer investigation. I believe that we are both walking, talking manifestations of God's image. From the moment we were conceived in His image, He loved us. He knew that while we were on Earth we would do some things right and do some things wrong. Through Grace, we are forgiven for those wrongs.

Let us Pray for Richard Cohen. (Thats Christian-cue for bow your head. Now.)

Dear Lord, please forgive Richard Cohen for being a dirty douche bag. You made him gay and someone has gone and convinced him that thats bad! He needs Your strength and love to stop being a dirty douche bag. Forgive him for distorting Your gifts of healing and compassion and for becoming the dirty douche bag he is today. We also pray for Your queer community. We know that Richard needs us too, Lord. He needs our support and love to stop being a dirty douche bag. But sometimes we fall short and call him names like, "Dirty Douche Bag". Please fill us with Your Spirit so that we may guide him away from being a dirty douche bag and come to call him things other than "Dirty Douche Bag Man". Let us all know Your eternal love.

Amen.
