Ryan Sorba, Part Three
Here is the third and final excerpt of the piece I wrote about Ryan Sorba and his campaign to expose “the born gay hoax.”
When I ask Sorba what his next venue will be, he smiles and says, “I want to take my message to a university in Washington, D.C. George Washington University seems like it might be a good place to give the talk. What do you think?” I reply, “It does seem like a good campus if you want to reach the inside-the-beltway crowd and some very politically active students.”
A few days later, we both attend the Washington premiere of Indoctrinate U, a film by Evan Maloney about the lack of free speech on many college campuses. In the crowd are a couple of dozen students from George Washington University who identify themselves by asking Maloney a question of the after the screening. As I walk out of the Kennedy Center and head to the after-party, I catch a glimpse of a conversation just outside the door. I see Sorba and the GWU students exchanging business cards and chatting about what kind of events the students are planning for the fall and spring semesters. As I leave, I can’t help but wonder, “Is there even a chance that the ‘born gay hoax’ lecture wasn’t discussed?” Based on the energy and determination of Ryan Sorba, and the number of college students that are beginning to hear about his message, I can say with all confidence, “Not a chance.”
