A surprise new twist has emerged in the controversy over an “ex-gay” group’s Virginia billboard which purportedly depicted a set of “identical twins,” reports The Huffington Post.

The ad, which appeared recently beside I-95 in Richmond, depicts two men, one dressed in a suit and the other in a white T-shirt, and says: “Identical twins: One gay. One not. We believe twin research studies show nobody is born gay.”

But model Kyle Roux, who appears on the billboard, says he is a ‘proud’ gay man and not a twin

“It just seems like there no place in today’s world for an organization that is promoting this as being some kind of deviant or distasteful lifestyle, because I’ve lived my life openly gay and happy for my entire life,” Roux, who added that he is not a twin as the billboard proclaims, told NBC affiliate WWBT.

The group behind the billboard, Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays, otherwise known as PFOX, is a national nonprofit that promotes ex-gay ideology.

A representative for PFOX did not respond to The Huffington Post’s initial request for comment.
