McKrae Game wants people to know that he was wrong about all of it.

He was wrong to found Hope for Wholeness Network, a faith-based conversion therapy program that seeks to rid people of their LGBTQ identities. He was wrong to create a slogan promoting the idea of “freedom from homosexuality through Jesus Christ.” He was wrong to tell people they were doomed for all eternity if they didn’t change their ways.

…

“I was a religious zealot that hurt people,” Game told the Post and Courier. “People said they attempted suicide over me and the things I said to them. People, I know, are in therapy because of me. Why would I want that to continue?”

I might ask why you would also want that hurt to continue? Religious zealotry, perhaps?

Many of us, realising in our teens that we were gay in a hostile environment, perhaps even praying for change in ourselves, managed to kid ourselves for a bit that we weren’t gay. Even when our eyes were following an attractive boy down the road, we’d tell ourselves, “No, I’m, NOT gay. That’s just a lingering habit but the homosexuality has gone.” And we’d look at girls and tell ourselves that, ooh, we fancied them so very much, and might even, with much effort, not to mention thinking about, oh, Tab Hunter or Guy Madison, manage a one-off sex act with a girl, and then we’d tell ourselves, “Yes, I really am straight,” and that would keep us going as we looked at the photos of bare-chested men in film magazines.

Are you saying that ALL desires compel the possessor of them to act?–That when you experience a desire to visit your brother you are subject to a compulsion?

Ah, so the desires, which you wrongly label “sinful”, are still there. It’s just that the person is not “compelled” to act on them.

That’s not ceasing to be gay.

Oh, and gay people are no more “compelled” to act on their desires than heterosexuals are. If I am “compelled” to act on my desires, then so are sweet ol’ heterosexual you.

“a past pornography addiction – same type thing.”

It’s not the same type of thing at all.
