Outspoken "ex-gay" Christian Post blogger Matt Moore has verified that, yes, the Grindr profile we brought to your attention yesterday that was purported to belong to him is real. 

See how the former gay that spends his time on gay hook-up sites explains himself after the jump. 

Matt Moore tells Free Thought blogger, Zinnia Jones:

"The grindr profile was really mine. I’ve been on it on and off for the last couple of weeks.

Like I told the guy who sent you the picture, I am wrong in having been on grindr. I haven’t changed my views on homosexuality, the bible, etc.

Creating a grindr profile and talking to guys on it was major disobedience on my part….disobedience to Christ. Disobedience to a loving and gracious God. Thankfully, I believe that He forgives me for this disobedience. I believe the blood of Christ covers this disobedience. And I won’t be on grindr again….ever.

The pastor of my church and the church body I am a part of were informed about me being on grindr (I told them) before all of this came out, publicly."

Oh Matty, there are no benefits to all of this delusion and self-loathing. And FYI, there are plenty of happy, openly gay Christians. Perhaps you should reach out? Get a little support and guidance? 

You're 23 (unless that's just 23 in Grindr years)! Don't waste your youth in self-hate. 

Come on in, kiddo, the water's fine!

What do you think of Matt's confession, Instincters?

Original Post

Uh oh, has this "ex-gay's" hand been caught in the cookie jar or is someone setting him up?

Vocal ex-gay, Matthew Moore, who speaks on the evils of homosexuality and his transition away from "unnatural" homosexual cravings into the blissful world of heterosexuality on the Christian Post, was spotted on Grindr! (Or maybe it's someone pretending to be Matt! It's possible, y'all!)

More after the jump. 

Zinnia Jones, an "atheist activist" blogger over at Free Thought Blogs brought Moore's alleged presence on the hookup site to the interweb's attention. 

As Zinnia points out: "Not only has the Grindr profile used Moore’s name, but also his age (he was born in 1989) and even the fact that he recently moved to New Orleans. Obviously, someone is trying to make it look like Matt Moore, a noted former homosexual, is now participating in a gay dating network. Whoever is responsible for this should be ashamed of themselves for trying to besmirch the name of a devout, morally upright follower of Christ who has prevailed over his sinful temptations."

Obviously, Jones is being facetious, but we have to wonder is this self-proclaimed "ex-gay" giving into his unnatural carnal desires or is someone playing a prank?

No self-respecting ex-gay would ever possibly go trolling for tail online, would he? (And with a readily viewable face pic, no less!)

Nope. Never.

Maybe he's trying to find new converts to his ex-gay world... Whatever...

Poor guy. He's grown up in an environment that has taught him that being gay is a sin, and he believes it. Even as he argues against those in his own church who would tell him that his "homosexual feelings" would go away if he truly loved God, he still believes he must repent and lead a chaste life in order to be ok in the eyes of his creator. Sad. While Grindr may not exactly be the place for him to find the kind of connection that will help him to repair the emotional and spiritual damage this line of thinking has caused, if it's really him and not a prank, at least he's reaching out and exploring what's out there.

Who knows, but IF this were a set-up it would have to be someone close. The reason I say this is when you Google Matthew Moore that image of him does not show up online without the Grinder logo on it. Also the photo was taken with a phone camera meaning hew knows the person who took the photo. I tend to think he is trying to come out again and chose Grindr to do it, not quite the way I'd of handled it, but to each his own.

What's crazy is that he writes that even just chatting with another gay dude is such a sin that he has to be reminded of how forgiven he is. It's a chat application. Sure some hook up but it's not a sin to say hello - I'm repressed as hell and need help. #batshitcrazy

Who cares. Live and let live. I say let people live their own crazy lives, no matter how much attention they crave. In the end, he got what he wanted: Your attention and a blog posting. #ClaimToFame

You thought he was normal when he believed he could pray away his sexuality? He is cute but he belongs in an institution. Somebody messed his up badly when he was young and gay and looking for support.

The Story of an Exhomosexual Jesus Emilio Carbonell :
when I was a boy, I began to feel same sex attractions. I later became involved with older homosexuals and bisexual men. Before deciding to do my transition, I lived my life as a regula homosexual man., I met a man who I thought was a woman. We spent a great deal of time together. Few Months later I was on my way to becoming a transgender woman, like my friends.
Time passed by and I was happy with the changes, my personality was diferent.However, as the time went by, I became depressed. I was never able to be happy. I was in love with a guy who did not care about me, it was all in vain: He left me for someone else. Later I fell ill with HIV and HepC with cirhossis.
In the homosexual and transgender life, youth is very important I was obsessed personal appearance. At one point, I was so depressed and lonely that I wanted to kill myself. After much suffering from abusing drugs and sex , being very sick in the hospital and spending long days at the Psychiatric Hospital, I wanted to change my life.
Jesus Christ called me out. I stopped abusing drugs and dressing as a woman . I began to look like the real me. I was a new creature. I began to meet with people who were Christians. And they loved me unconditionally.
I knew Jesus did not want me to live that life. He had made me whole in His love. I began to experience a confidence that I had never had before.
I pray to my Lord to move me to the next step so that He will continue to work in my Healing. . I have been changed by His HOLY SPIRIT, when GOD is in you, your life will never be the same. JESUS CHRIST is the most powerful experience that ever happened to me!!!!!
