DL Foster, an anti-gay activist and professed “former homosexual,” called for the arrest of author Dan Savage for his role in founding the “It Gets Better” Project, which has consistently been in the crosshairs of Religious Right activists over its inspirational message geared to LGBT youth. Foster, who made the comments last week on Americans For Truth About Homosexuality Radio Hour with Peter LaBarbera, is the founder of Gay Christian Movement Watch.
In the interview, Foster argued that Savage “should be arrested” for his “vile” It Gets Better “charade.” “You know, homosexual kids are still killing themselves after believing his message,” he said.
Listen:
“It’s really indicative of the character of these individuals, this individual Dan Savage, is also the creator of the so-called anti-bullying It Gets Better charade,” said Foster.
“You know, homosexual kids are still killing themselves after believing his message. I think he — personally — I think he should be arrested for propagating this lie to—for these kids to have this false promise without any sort of information on what is ‘it’ anyway? It’s really so vile to me that it disturbs me to even talk about it.”

Former Homosexual that is a load of crap!!
Veteran homosexual!
(He’s done it all…..)
Arrested for what?
Point 1: He’s evil
Point 2: Pro-founded homosexual? BULLSH*it
I have so many other points like; What world did you come from?!
LET ME MAKE SOMETHING CLEAR. THERE ARE NO SUCH THING AS A FORMER HOMOSEXUAL. THAT IS A FAIRY TALE. PEOPLE WHOM CLAIM TO BE SUCH WERE NEVER GAY OR THEY ARE LYING STILL ABOUT WHOM THEY ARE.. SO LET ME POP THAT LITTLE MAGICAL BUBBLE FOR ANYONE. GLADLY…
and I call for the arrest, prosecution and jailing of all in the antigay industry who have caused harassment, abuse, assault, battery and the death of my brothers and sisters for over 2000 years at the hands of pscyho religionists.
for such people are the looney houses :)
I couldn’t take this article seriously…
There is no such thing as a former homosexual! It is impossible.
I love “Former Homosexual” he probably only says that so he can claim that it is a choice and you can be “saved”. He was never a homosexual. He should be “arrested” for making a false claim about his former homosexuality
Hunny, your not reformed, your REPRESSED!!!!!
FORMER HOMOSEXUAL??? That is not even a true statement…I guess it is just now on the DL..
The things ppl do for attention…smmfh
Another Bad Idea Gone Wrong~
I guess I don’t understand what his logic is behind this. Is it better to accept the horribleness tossed at LGBT people, or to tell (from experience) that living life as an open LGBT person can and often does get better, and not to lose hope?
Sick ass man eh should be arrested for being a dumbass
Call for his arrest all you want, unless he does something illegal it’s not gonna happen. Fade back into obscurity now, just like your sense of dignity.
If today he is a “former homosexual” will he soon become a “former black man”?
honey Im sorry but arrested for what being himself yeah that’ll happen dumbass -_-
Oh, holy crap. :P
What an idiot!
Get over it. The founder is doing a great job!!
People’s ignorance is sickening.
Can he then become a “born-again homosexual”? Rehabilitation back into the gay life?
Awwww… Poor thing. He drank the Kool-Aid®. ;-)
Wow! What an idiot
Omg!this guy has major issues(former homosexual?)
Out for attention is all im seeing.who could take this guy seriously??
This shouldn’t be a “like” button. This should be a “disgrace” button for this person. Former homosexual my ass!
Two assholes are fighting with each other?
WTF?
What a douche bag! Ex- homosexual my ass! Why do people even care about what others do in their personal lives? It does NOT affect you in any way shape or form. If everyone was the same the world would be fucking boring. We must embrace all of our differences as human beings and have love, acceptance, and compassion for one another :)
attention whore.~ nuff said,im tired with all this drama.
DL get help sweetheart, you are a real mess
I can’t believe this crap. Him trying to ignore the amount of good the It Gets Better videos have done, trying to say gay teens are killing themselves because of the videos, yeah right. NEWS FLASH FOR DL: Gay teens kill themselves because of fucking bigots like you.
Former homosexual? o_O Whatever. He’s just repressing his true self & is probably a miserable human being because of it.
If he says he was a homosexual… that means he is still a homosexual. He has just buried and suppressed his sexuality. Which explains his anger and hatred. His internalized (and externalized) homophobia has caused him to not be true to himself. He doth protest too much I say.
how the hell do you just BECOME an “ex-homosexual” Homosexuality is like a gang dude once you are in you are in.
Asshole!! Dan Savage gives us something to hang on to!!
it’s great to see that we’re not the only one out there!!
I hate to hurt ur feelings there big dog…but theres no such thing as “Former Homosexual”..someone must have scared you back into the closet or you were a sorry ass poser to begin with..Either way, STFU..
Come on look at him hes as gay as i am.and thats pretty damned gay!
I just can’t stop laughing that this initials are DL.
So I guess I am supposed to believe in something I can’t see and live the way someone tells me to live? Aka religion
Down Low Bitch!!!
Unfreakin likely.
There is no such thing as a former homosexual.
Well we all know that Ex gay leaders are being arrested for their “numb making” towards the LGBT community.
Me thinks that it has nothing to do with that. If he wants to be a former homoesexual, then let him live his life. What burns me, is that he is attacking a movement that is trying to help people who are dealing with their own identities. If a man should be arrested for stopping a movement meant to give hope, then maybe this former homosexual should get the electric chair for spouting off ignorance. We are not in a comunistic country where we do not have free speach. If he thinks his solution is better, then lets hear it, though I personaly shudder at the thought of what this man would say.
DL Foster is nothing but a hypocrit with delusions that if he tries hard enough he can become straight and be accepted into heaven probably…i’d rather be who i am and burn in hell than to lie to the world anymore and go to heaven! he should feel the same…our sexual ORIENTATION is nothing to be ashamed of!!!
Seriously? I’ve watched so many of the “It Gets Better” videos. Afew years ago, they saved my life. This guys a douche bag and doesn’t know anything.
fuck that dumb nigger, hes just on the DL, and probably HIV+. hope he gets lynched.
get a life….
Hold up a banana, now tell yourself it’s an apple. Stupid right? If you’re LGBTQ, no one has the right to bully you, brainwash you, or persecute you until you mentally believe you’re something you’re not just because they don’t like it and said so.
This is the biggest load of crock I have ever heard. How would Mr Foster know that the program does not work? Does he talk to the dead now too? There is a bigger point that he is trying to mask here. Why a program like It Gets Better needs to exist at all. Why does someone, be it Dan Savage or who ever, would need to point out to bullied kids that their harassment does not last? I hope Mr Foster does not have kids of his own. I could only imagine how far that apple will fall from his tree.
first off,there is no such thing as a “former homosexual” only a repressed one. Secondly,these people need to start to live their own lives and stay out of the lives of others.Religion should stay in the church WHERE IT BELONGS!!!!!!!!! If they want to stick their noses into politics,then they should loose their tax exempt status. I find it reprehensible that they should claim to “love the sinner” and pull shit like this!!!
No such thing as a, “Former Homosexual,” you either are or not! What the pressure, of being, a “Black-Man,” got the best of him! What? Too much pressure from his own society? Whether your black, white, asian, it is all the same, you can’t help your sexual preference it is by birth! Shame on you for succombing to this pressure!
He’s just bitter that no one wants to be homosexual with him… (What a self loathing jerk.)
In my day dl, it meant sex! Why did you not mention all those other teens who have gone on before us, how about that!
Do away with that turdface
Whatta fag!!
Gerald, ignorance apparently comes from both sides of the spectrum don’t they?
I think he is asking to be probed!
pathetic douche bag.
What an idiot.
What??
This guy is either lying that he was gay or he is suppressing who he truly is which is consciously and subconsciously filled with so much internal conflict, false guilt, and confusion that his vitriol is coming out as transference. Regardless, as a straight woman and mother of a son who I love so much and was born gay, this guy is an idiot to the nth level!
@Gerald-for shame on that language.
Is it like waking up some morning and deciding you no longer want to breathe??? Homosexuality is “NOT” a choice on a menu, you are not able to choose to be treated indifferently, not have equality, not have the same benefits. this guy is sorely mistaken!!!
Plenty of sick society crawlers like him around for sure.Back in the days if slavery this fool would be one of those arguing to keep it…sorry DL once a queer always a queer…once a bigot … ? .well? DL?
people like him are the ones who should be arrested and really who really cares what this idiot says, really is anyone taking him seriously?
Ok, how about this. I’ve tried”reparative” therapy and it doesn’t work. It does more harm than good. Now I’m full of rainbows and I’m happy. I’m also tough. So if you come to Stevensville, Maryland and hate on the gays, I will give you a reason to “hate” cuz I will break your FUCKING fingers.
I would love for Dan Savage to get into some sort of trouble for his transphobia, fatphobia, biphobia, racism, acephobia, and general asshattery, but this guy is still an idiot.
I love how these ex-homosexual types are always loudly parading their reform around like it’s the only defining factor of their personalities. You USED to be gay; good for you. What else have you done with your life?
This continues becoming more hilarious with the contradictions.
Freaking liar . I wonder if he’s being paid off or threatened , either way , LIAR .
@Gerald …. Seriously ???? You sound no better then them ! Don’t fuel hate with more hate .
It is sad to hear a person gay or ex gay say this. It indicates how unhappy he is with his life…
Ex-homosexual = current fraud
Former? ” Oh yeah, back in the day, it was all sausage… but i think its time for change, maybe go eat Melons ” Sure… I take no notice from people like him, i mean you cant just ” Reform ” it doent work like that… what a Fake.
the. Hell. Come on, man!
I call for the arrest of liars…
im not that into politics but im pretty sure theres no law against keeping teens from committing suicide
Amazing how people feel that they are somehow entitled to infringe on others peoples rights with their opinions.
Got plenty of un picked cotton down in Mississippi ever considered a new job
Put a muscular naked man in front of him and we’ll see if he won’t get turned on.
Just because he does not suck anymore does not mean he is ex-gay.
Here we go, yet again: ANOTHER male whom feels rejected by society; and “takes it out” on hios own community. Of course, he would NEVER take responsibility for ANY decisions HE has made thusfar in life. Please, Miss Thing. ; P
I feel sory for him.think smthing went wrong or someone hacked his facebook account.
Oh god Heriberto you’re making me blush.
But in all seriousness, I don’t see how anybody can do this. Being an “ex-homosexual”? And why does he want to arrest someone who tries to make people’s lives easier? What a dick.
