Former LGBT+ People Claim They “Changed” And Now Fight Against LGBT+ Rights

Fifteen members of Church United And Changed, a group that claims to have “changed” from identifying as LGBT+, is now lobbying against bills that would gain the LGBT+ community more rights, according to ‘The Washington Times”.

The bills they are lobbying against include the update in civil rights code to prevent discrimination against LGBT+ people as well as the bill trying to ban conversion therapy.

Kathy Grace Duncan, member of the group who formerly identified as a transgender man, stated: “I live in Portland [Oregon], and I don’t see the discrimination that LGBTQ people talk about.

“They’re asking for certain rights in this legislation, but these are rights that they already have.”

Jim Domen, who founded the church, agreed, saying: “Sexual behavior should not be a protected right.”

“Changing the Civil Rights Act would create a superclass for anyone identifying as LGBTQ at the expense of people who are not,” he continued. “The Equality Act treats sexual preference as an elevated class and would strip people of religious freedom.”
