From Autumn Sandeen:
I read ex-gay James Hartline's blog about once a week. Sometimes it's entertaining (such as his glaring grammar mistake of using "their" instead of using "they're" in the quote in my headline above), sometimes he has a valid point to make, but more often than not he seems to write unhinged diatribes.
I've seen him speak at San Diego City Council meetings. His viewpoints are just about uniformly opposite to mine, but he doesn't sound unhinged when he speaks. And, he's had some successes in shutting down LGBT events -- like 2005's Ebony Pride event -- and he's the one who did the digging to find out that there were registered sex offenders in places of leadership in the 2005 San Diego Pride organization. The San Diego Pride organization was completely reorganized as a result. And, volunteers are now all subject to background checks, which wasn't the case previously.

James Hartline running for District 3June 5th, 2007 — Eric Wolff
Virulent anti-gay activist, Christian Conservative, and “ex-gay” James Hartline has decided to stir up the pot in District 3 with his own run for City Council.
Hartline is a Republican who considers homosexuality (and porn and overly revealing clothing) an abomination. He made a splash in 2005 when he revealed in his newsletter that two volunteers working the annual Gay Pride Parade were registered sex offenders. His entrance into the District 3 race, of all races, should be entertaining at the least.

"Praise God! James I knew you would be running. I prayed that God would put you in that position on the last meeting at the city council.
