REPARATIVE THERAPY SERIES: Randy of Exodus, Former VP of Exodus International
Fade to Gray Podcast is pleased to announce a series featuring stories of individuals who have undergone or been of part of reparative therapy (sexual orientation change efforts). In this series, the Fade to Gray team strives to listen, engage and understand the motives behind such efforts and the impact it has had (whether that be positive or negative). It's 2020 after all. It's time we asked the questions and allowed people to share their real experience. This stuff has had a real impact on people's lives and it's time we talked about it.
Randy Thomas is the former Vice President of Exodus International. Exodus International was a network of conversion-therapy ministries which closed in 2013. Randy shares his journey and what a journey it has been. Randy first came out as gay but then became a very strong defender of the 'ex-gay' movement. Randy shares what it was like working with Exodus and is open and honest and the lasting damage this had on others as well as on himself. Randy has since come back out of the closet and is engaged to become married. This is a vulnerable, transparent and powerful testimony.
