Last time DCist checked in with the ex-gay pride movement, leaders were planning a fun-filled “Ex-Gay Pride Month” that would feature a fancy Capitol Hill dinner and a music video contest.

Well, the banquet, which Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn.) was invited to speak at, and contest were canceled, with organizers citing “anti-ex-gay extremism” as the reason. But as Christopher Doyle, organizer of “Ex-Gay Pride Month,” told the Christian Post, “Ex-Gay Lobby Day” would still take place outside the Supreme Court on July 31.

He was also expecting quite a turnout. From Right Wing Watch:

Yesterday, American Family Radio’s Sandy Rios spoke to Ex-Gay Pride Month organizer Christopher Doyle about today’s ex-gay lobby day on Capitol Hill. Doyle, who was organizing the since-canceled Ex-Gay Pride banquet at the Family Research Council, complained in an interview with the Christian Post that “un-American” LGBT rights advocates have “shut us out,” explaining that “because of all this homo-fascism and indoctrination in the media, ex-gays aren’t given a fair shake.”

Rios confidently predicted that “thousands of ex-gays are descending” on Washington for a press conference planned for today at the Supreme Court. She lamented that when she led Concerned Women for America the media refused to hear “our ex-gay friends” because it “undermined the whole effort of the homosexual lobby.”

Want to guess how that turned out? According to Right Wing Watch, fewer than 10 people showed up on the steps of the Supreme Court for the rally.

But that doesn’t mean there weren’t impassioned speeches. Chuck Peters, a research assistant for Doyle’s group Voice of the Voiceless, led the group in a cheer, “Hip, hip hooray for ex-gays! Hip, hip hooray for ex-gays! Hip, hip hooray for ex-gays!”
