“Conversion therapy is not just a lie, but it’s very harmful,” he told The Post and Courier. “Because it’s false advertising.”
The Hope for Wholeness centre's conversion therapy, like many others in operation across the States, involves trying to change a person's sexual orientation from homosexual or bisexual to homosexual, often through religious or spiritual interventions. Game said in a Facebook post last week that he was "wrong" to lead the centre. He also apologised for his involvement in the programme.“Please forgive me," he wrote.
“I certainly regret where I caused harm. Promoting the triadic model that blamed parents and conversion or prayer therapy, that made many people believe that their orientation was wrong, bad, sinful, evil, and worse that they could change was absolutely harmful.
“It’s all in my past, but many, way TOO MANY continue believing that there is something wrong with themselves and wrong with people that choose to live their lives honestly and open as gay, lesbian, trans, etc (...) Learn to love yourself and others.”
Game is one of many former conversion therapy leaders who have since left the practice and come out as gay.Explore more on these topics:
