Christian Post Blogger Who Wrote About ‘Leaving Homosexuality’ Found Cruising for Dudes on Grindr

Christian Post Blogger Who Wrote About ‘Leaving Homosexuality’ Found Cruising for Dudes on Grindr

A self-proclaimed "ex-gay" blogger who wrote extensively for the Christian Post about "coming out of the homosexual lifestyle" was recently discovered seeking the companionship of other men on the popular gay geosocial networking app Grindr.

In a lengthy missive penned for the Post last year, Matt Moore discussed his ongoing struggles with homosexual urges following his "conversion experience."

"I can, in truth, firmly say that the longer I keep turning away from my homosexual desires, the less in strength they become," Moore wrote in "My Story: Homosexuality, Drunkenness, Grace and Redemption."

"Creating a grindr profile and talking to guys on it was major disobedience on my part," he told Jones, "disobedience to Christ."

Instead, I just feel really sorry for him. He'd be so much happier if he would just let loose, free himself of the Christian guilt, and be himself.

It's just sad the self-inflicted pain he causes himself on the behalf of some self-imposed idea of what is right and wrong.

Very sad indeed.

I have so many friends that have tried to be an ex-gay and it always ends with disaster. These places that peddle in this crap need to be exposed for the frauds that they are. This guy needs to realize he is gay and that is that.

It wasn't the reason for my iphone, but it certainly consumes an alarming portion of my day. . .

What's with all these "good Christians lying all over the place? I thought lying is a sin in their religion.l

founded in San Francisco in the 1960s, is made up of GLBT Christians, and now has congregations all across the country.

Someone should tell this guy you can be gay AND be a Christian. Conversely, not all Christians are anti-gay bigots.

Sad to see anyone suffering like this.

Don't they ever learn, or is it that they don't want to learn, or maybe they know and don't care what harm they do to people.
