gay conversion therapy is in the news again today and the reason why is
because one person who really believed in gay conversion therapy and preached
about it
is completely apologetic about the fact that he did so in the past
this guy's james parties in exceeded leader in fact he used to work
for exodus international high now he's coming out and saying yak it was
complete and utter bs and i feel
horrible for the numbers of lives
i ruined as i was uh... you know in it

international
and he wrote a book alone one out
how guards low help to people leave or sexuality
and find each other

says the following in a lot of support that state movement or efforts to
attempt to change individuals especially teens who already feel insecure in
alienated
i feel great sorrow over the pain that has uh... that has been caused when my
words
were misconstrued
and he also says i have worked it giving generously to the gay community in
portland where i work in live i'm working hard at two p authentic and
genuine in all my relationships
uh... so cookie dough it's it's great to be came out and said i'm sorry my bad

and
but at the same time
you know
there's so many people who work in that movement now
and their all getting they did not accept
their debt they have an exit is like this isn't an infant aqaba adds a whole
different that prepared of their commitments
from
can you be extreme
meeting about all that's exactly what i was just thinking we could there be a
terribly that could make you like cock
if you think that that again today that he didn't have the prevalence of course
not a couldn't change you write right

professor
as that eases idea fuel to keep coming on saying all the stuff that can bring
up something to gain sublease if you're a but indeed
you're going to be gay so that they think they think about the source of the
little there was actually a story of a few years ago humble of a grandmother
who still digging custody of her granddaughter because her daughter who
had the baby
came out to be games is like having someone gave to the recommendation
raised her you made or intentions some book it looks as if you get the
granddaughter as she'd more likely to be the has used her last saturday yes
it's not
fast specificity and i think the apology is enough i mean do you feel any day of
sympathy for him whatsoever and what did he do no i don't really sent before but
what do you want to make up to those people for doing that
not destroy a number of that was really think about how they deliver help
i get it there's nothing he can do at this point the damage is done but at the
same time you know you read his apology and i get that he feels remorseful
on could really do internally analysis take division about your quality you
destroyed lives ye you should do more about whether it's going out there and
mentoring gain you know gay children or gay teens letting them know with the
reality is telling a paper they shouldn't feel guilty about what they're
doing maybe you become a leader in up pushing for legislation that and sagging
conversion therapy in other states and the california just recently bad debt
uh... you know that's real change
that we can believe it
but in this case to just about anything out of character so that's really simple
and so
uh... unit end and the reason

covers apparently he's a really good messes with your mind in a big big wave
tells everything that you're feeling as a person is wrong
your identity is wrong ended if you just frustrated now can you work hard enough
you could be straight could be somebody else
and got into just drives them crazy with a security
and you know how the cancer for the societal were all
because they were
worried about how to be received because they're gay at center right some forms
that i didn't version therapy use electric shock at fairview but also
and about what they in tyre white and a conversion their peers is selectees or
to tell these people
that they have some sort of mental illness
that their strange it there we hear that they're perverted an exotic hates them
yet in that way but got caught loved them if they just stopping themselves
that's right and that's the biggest school really reminded him you could
possibly get a testy
