Did he say that? The article I read, he said he was grateful to have such an "understanding" wife and that he still felt "same-sex attraction" though didn't specify whether this was exclusive or distracting or merely occasional. This was the same interview where he made the comment that over several decades he'd found that "99.9%" of people in the programs were not 'cured' of their homosexual feelings.

- He did say that and I guess his group is no longer promoting reparative therapy.... but he then went on to talk about how his homosexual feelings were easily cured when he married his wife, so I'm not sure how sincere/serious he was.
Of course we should judge their morals based on what the person believes. Morals aren't the issue here, actions are. The real world effects of a church on the LGBT community matter. Your morals have no consequences though, but your actions do have consequences. A consequence of belonging to a bigoted church is enabling bigotry, no matter what your morals are.

I think their morals are based upon what their morals actually are, not what church they belong to. And I don't like to group a whole bunch of people together like that and generalize them, ever, so I would disagree with your way of doing that.
No one said every gay was Christian, if you read the conversation. The reference is needed because we were discussing the Catholic church's relationship to homosexuality. Whether you're Catholic or not is absolutely irrelevant, because the Catholic church hurts all LGBT people.
