James Parker was out and proud in the 1980s, a staunch gay-rights activist. He had found his “Mr. Right” and thought he was happy. Then he encountered Christ, and everything changed.

In therapy for other issues, he found that he hadn’t been “born gay,” but traumatized as a child. As that healed, he began to feel his orientation change. Now James campaigns for patients’ rights to seek therapy aimed at healing homosexuality — which is currently banned by law in multiple states and countries. Watch Part I on Youtube.
