Pray Away the Gay

August 4, 2021

Last night I watched Pray Away, the Netflix documentary on the ex-gay movement. It is a masterful example of vulnerability and truth-telling, not to mention excellent filmmaking. I very strongly encourage every human being to watch this film tonight. If you're busy tonight, watch it tomorrow.

Also, it left me feeling a bit raw and introspective because, although I was not part of Exodus International, I was a conversion therapist for 20 years, believing and teaching many of the same ideas.

The greatest hope in my life now is to help HEAL, wherever possible, the injuries left by conversion therapy and the belief systems that gave it oxygen.
