“The Holy Sexuality Project” wants kids to stop being gay. Can they pull it off? Go to https://ground.news/skeptic to get all sides of every story. Subscribe through my link to save 40% off unlimited access or try it for less than $1 this month. Dr. Christopher Yuan of Moody Bible Institute used to live as a gay man, but now no longer identifies as gay. He does not use the term ex-gay or ex-LGBT, but embraces what he calls Holy Sexuality. His curriculum for parents of LGBT kids explains why. Is this gay conversion therapy? How does gay conversion therapy work? Can you go from gay to straight? Can you stop being gay? Can Christians support LGBT people? Is being transgender anti-science? Here I answer all of those questions.
