...............................

McKrae Game, who founded and led Hope for Wholeness in South Carolina, publicly announced he was gay in early June, more than two years after the organization’s board of directors abruptly fired him.



.................

Game is one of several former gay conversion therapy leaders who have since cut ties with the movement and have come out as LGBTQ.

Almost 700,000 LGBT-identifying adults have gone through some form of conversion therapy as of 2018, according to UCLA’s Williams Institute, The Post and Courier notes.

Eighteen states and at least 50 cities and counties across the country have laws or regulations "protecting youth from this harmful practice," the Human Rights Campaign says.

What ever happened to Michelle Bachman’s husband?

1. SHOVE your apology UNLESS you go on every source of media in the world and DEMAND

Mike Pence's resignation.

2. Exactly!

3. He's the worst. A closeted scumbag who hurt a lot of people trying to hide who he was.

He is the worst kind of gay man who eats his own.
I have NO sympathy for this guy and may his penis fall off at the nearest moment.

4. so called gay conversion programs are a scam

5. Just watched Boy Erased

Incredibly good, although I am really uncomfortable watching "so-called" christians pushing their hate-filled agendas. Too many people swallow it hook, line and sinker, usually because the are at a really low point in their mental self-esteem.

The founder of that conversion group did the same thing (all while couching the whole process in christian love), came out after years of mentally torturing gay teens.

It is based on a true story involving that group.

I am also becoming more and more of a Nicole Kidman fan.

7. "So-called Christians"

As far as I know they are as Christian as they believe themselves to be... there is no "One True Christianity" that is the standard by which others are judged. Each person invents there own by interpreting the Bible in their own way.

6. Regarding the question about Michelle Bachman's husband,

See? C.T. has had some successes.

8. So he's not just the founder

He's also a client?

[Ilsa]

10. Ha!

You're adorable when you're funny!

9. Short Response....

....FUCK YOU!!

And fuck ANYONE that thinks this shit is OK.

11. Did he happen to use his therapy in reverse?

Joke aside, good for him to come out and stand in his truth instead of living a lie.
