The ex-gay ministry has published a resolution that Congress can pass to make a public commitment to tolerance for all individuals--including those who have chosen to leave the gay lifestyle. According to PFOX, "The resolution says that Congress condemns hate against ex-gays and affirms its commitment to a society that respects all people, including former homosexuals."

PFOX has drafted a resolution for the Senate and for the House of Representatives and is encouraging ex-gays and supporters of PFOX to urge their legislators to sign on to the resolution.

The "Concurrent Resolution: Supporting tolerance for former homosexuals," says, in part:

"Whereas clients of counselors, therapists, and psychiatrists have the right to determine the course and direction of treatment or counseling they receive relative to same sex attractions, including heterosexual-affirmative alternatives.... Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), that it is the sense of Congress that Congress - condemns intolerance and hate against former homosexuals and lesbians; commends the ex-gay organizations through our Nation that are united in condemning intolerance against former homosexuals and lesbians; and reaffirms its commitment to a society that respects all people, including former homosexuals and lesbians."
