Ex-Gays

I'm listening to yesterday's Fresh Air with Terry Gross. It was about the ex-Gay ministries.

I swear, every time I hear about these people, I just shake my head. Part of it is having dealt with the whole coming out thing and realizing that I had to be who I am, rather than wallowing in the shame and all of the things that these ministries prey on.

All I can think of is how lucky I am to have had the people in my life (both family and friends) to help me when I needed it so that I could become who I am today.
