BBC Newshour: My decade in gay conversion therapy - and how I quit
On the International Day to End Conversion Therapy, I had the privilege of joining Shaun Ley on BBC Newshour to discuss my eight years in "reprogramming" and my journey toward writing Conversion Therapy Dropout.
We talked about the reality of what these practices actually do to a person and why it is so critical to speak out now. Sharing this story on a global stage isn't easy, but my hope is that by being honest about the harm, we can ensure fewer LGBTQ+ youth feel that this is their only path. There is a better way to find belonging, and no one should have to go through what I did to find it.
