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 didnt change their ways. After 20 years working in that field, Game said he realizes the harm he has caused and that he, himself, is gay. Conversion therapy encompasses a widely discredited range of methods that purport to change someones sexual orientation or gender identity. The practice is illegal in 18 states and the District. Its 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., Game, 51, wrote on Facebook last week. The very harmful cycle of self shame and condemnation has to stop. Game is among many founders and leaders of conversion therapy programs to disavow the practice later. In 2014, nine former ex-gay leaders signed an open letter denouncing conversion therapy as ineffective and harmful and calling for an end to it. Leaders of conversion therapy programs rarely renounce the practice publicly because doing so involves turning their backs not just on the ex-gay community, but also on conservative faith as a whole.
