Conversion therapy crusader has something to say: He's gay

SPARTANBURG, S.C. - 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.

... snip ...

The 51-year-old also is trying to find his place in a community he's assailed for at least 20 years. Game is one of several former movement leaders who have left the pulpits of heterosexuality, come out as LGBTQ and condemned conversion therapy as a dangerous and misleading practice.

As a gay man, who's watched from the sidelines, who's dealt with friends, family, and others who wanted to judge me for what I do behind closed doors, and all who've I've gladly thrown each the Non-Verbal Form of Communication (middle finger) I've always said, those that scream the loudest about 'alternative lifestyles' are DEEPEST IN THE CLOSET.

COME OUT, COME OUT, WHERE EVER YOU ARE! Your "Friends of Dorothy" are here to help, well some are. Those that you've harmed, beat up, tortured, not so much. I just hope those that you've beat up, tortured, harmed realize what a complete total POS you are, and get a GOOD DAMN LAWYER!

It should make the rest of your life behind bars more fulfilling. Let this guy be enlightened without profiting from it.
