The world’s largest ex-gay organization, Exodus International tells clients to wear a rubber band on their wrist and snap it when they see someone attractive of the same sex. In this Truth Wins Out PSA, a survivor of rubber band “therapy,” Brian Nesbitt, discusses his experience.
Here is what Exodus instructs its clients to do:
“Every time you catch yourself watching someone erotically or engaging in fantasy, snap the band. This will cause a moderate stinging pain, which serves as a shocking reminder of what you are doing. This should help you interrupt the spell.”
Recently, on Fox’s Mike and Juliet Show, ex-gay activist Alan Chambers called homosexuality “empty” and said that he “left homosexuality” because it was for the young – and that one day he’d be too old and bald to live open and honestly.
The truth is, the only thing “empty” is Mr. Chambers’ shallow rhetoric. His organization, Exodus, often resorts to scare tactics and flat out lies to recruit new victims. This Truth Wins Out video challenges Alan Chambers and sets the record straight.
With a gift of $35 to Truth Wins Out, you can receive an autographed copy of "Anything But Straight: Unmasking the Scandals and Lies Behind the Ex-Gay Myth."
