Brent Girouex
Your weekday morning blend from Instant Tea:
1. A former youth pastor at an anti-gay church in Iowa is charged with 60 counts of sexual exploitation after he told police he molested young males to purify them in the eyes of God. Brent Girouex, 31, of Victory Fellowship Church in Council Bluffs, said he wanted to help the victims with homosexual urges by praying while they had sexual contact with him, according to police. “When they would ejaculate, they would be getting rid of the evil thoughts in their mind,” Girouex allegedly told authorities. In 2010, Victory Fellowship Church used its website to call on people to oust three Iowa Supreme Court justices who voted to legalize same-sex marriage.

2. Speaking of “ex-gay” therapy, Exodus International now claims its iPhone app isn’t designed to cure people of homosexuality. The group’s statement comes in response to a petition by Truth Wins Out — which now has more than 127,000 signatures — calling on Apple to remove the ex-gay app from the iTunes store.
3. A homophobic new ad (screen grab above) for the Brazilian liquor Cachaça Magnifica suggests that parents might need a strong drink after discovering their son is gay. Who the hell comes up with this shit? Answer: Agência 3, Rio.
I think the ad is funny.
You might clarify. I thought the floorplan screenshot was an ad on Dallas Voice.com. Might frame it or something.
News of the weird.
I dunno. They look like a couple a squares to me.
Damn! I’m gonna try this next time! Yeah…you’re gay and Christian? You want help? Okay. Let’s get naked and let me have you shoot on my face…yeah, that’s the evil escaping you. Yeah, that’s it. You have LOTS of evil inside you so we’re gonna have to do this quite often. Yup, quite often.
Sweet!
