Exodus International - Exodus to Take Part in White House Ceremony

Orlando, FL- Representatives from the world’s largest outreach to those affected by unwanted homosexuality will join other pro-family organizations as President Bush endorses a federal amendment that defines marriage as between one man and one woman in a White House ceremony today. As the Senate plans to vote on the amendment this week, Exodus International plans to voice their concerns on Capitol Hill and says this vote is critical in the fight to preserve the institution of natural marriage.

“The lives of thousands of former homosexuals, like me, verify that homosexuality is not an immutable trait, therefore marriage is not a civil right to be casually granted to any group who demands it. Nor is it a relational right of passage to be awarded to those demonstrating a committed, emotional bond,” said Alan Chambers, President of Exodus International. “Ultimately, this debate is about nothing less than the preservation of future generations.

“Natural marriage is a unique union that has proven to meet the needs of children and individuals in a way that homosexual partnerships, polygamous unions and polyamourous relationships never will,” said Chambers. “Having both a mom and a dad is the best recipe for a child’s wholeness. So many of us have already suffered the absence of a parent — how much greater the consequences of intentionally inflicting this situation upon generations to come. Redefining marriage is a reckless social experiment America
Exodus International is a resource and referral organization with over 135 member ministries across cannot afford to undergo.”
