I have been through these type of anti-gay programs in the past and they only served to promote greater shame and confusion. Reparative Therapy is innately destructive at its core, an instrument which invalidates our gay lives, and sends more people to their deaths than they care to admit. There is no freedom to be yourself in these organisations, instead they seek to manipulate and force conformity to their own set of standards at the expense of the individual.

If being gay is unwanted in the world of Exodus then have nothing to do with Exodus. I didn’t stick around with Exodus, it was a joke. I wasn’t healed of my “sexual brokeness” because I was never broken! But they did successfully contribute to my sense of shame. I found my own way through without them and discovered being gay is perfectly normal.

The leaders of this group are dangerous and misguided people.
