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.

I’m still scared for what could happen by stepping forward in a more open life.
