Conversion therapy crusader has something to say: He’s gay
A South Carolina man who founded one of the nation's biggest conversion therapy ministries has something to say: he's gay.
The Post and Courier reports Hope for Wholeness founder McKrae Game came out of the closet this summer, nearly two years after he was fired from the faith-based conversion therapy program. He's now trying to come to terms with the harm he inflicted when he was advocating for religious efforts to change a person's sexuality.
“Conversion therapy is not just a lie, but it’s very harmful,” Game told The Post and Courier.
Conversion therapy leader for 2 decades, McKrae Game disavows movement he helped fuel
“I was a religious zealot that hurt people,” Game said in an interview. “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?”
Game recently published a written apology to his personal Facebook page in which he called for the dissolution of any conversion therapy practice or ex-gay ministry. Though he condemned the practices, Game also said a group like Hope for Wholeness could serve as a community for those that believe “homosexuality is incongruent with their faith.”
