We Were Both Fascinated And Scared By Gay Activists

We Didn’t Know There Was An Alternative For Gay Christians

We Were All Still Struggling Silently As We Promised Change

I Never Saw One Of Our Members Become Heterosexual

My question is why are they still trying to change.

Hi 4JC,

If you are referring to the Exodus founders, I think they’ve discovered themselves that changing from gay to straight is not possible.

If you are referring to the Exodus clients, ex-gay programs can be very alluring for people who see them as a “solution” to the false belief that you can change from being gay to straight.

many within the ex-gay world lead double lives……I know it is going on even here in Sydney.

they are often in denial……which of course was my experience as well.

the truth that I was actually gay was too scary to accept.

Amen brother.

Everything worth having in life involves some level of risk……buying a house……leaving one company to work for another…..moving to another city…..changing churches…….starting a relationship…..finishing one…

Fear of change is a human experience…..for many LGBT people fear of living authentically can be real.
