The founder of a large conversion therapy programs, who has spent decades leading the organization, has come out as gay.
He apologized for his role in the practice and in a Facebook post wrote he was “wrong” and “please forgive me”.
“I certainly regret where I caused harm,” he wrote. “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.,” he added. “Learn to love yourself and others.”
McKrae Game is just one of the several former conversion therapy leaders who have come out as LGBT+.
