Meet the ‘ex-gay’ man behind the Texas GOP’s reparative therapy plank
His name is Jeremy Schwab, and he’s the founder of an ex-gay ministry called Joel 2:25 International.
He’s also an actor who’s appeared in films including “My Father’s Daughter,” “True Romance” and “Zombie Campout,” according to IMDb. (His YouTube acting page even includes a commercial for Mozilla Firefox that coincidentally features a homophobic shower scene.)
Schwab isn’t using his full name in media interviews about the reparative therapy plank — due to fear of retaliation, according to KRLD.

There is absolutely no good journalistic reason for protecting his identity.
Schwab appears to maintain multiple Facebook pages, including one under Jeremy Joel, but on his personal page we find proof that he authored the resolution. On the day it passed, he posted this update thanking Texas Eagle Forum President Cathie Adams and others:
