I was raised to think that God hated me for being bisexual and trans, and I would have done anything to make that guilt stop. I'm fortunate that I learned about atheism when I did.
I don't think I was an idiot, and I don't think that the people who feel trapped and pressured into "ex-gay therapy" are either. They're desperate to feel loved, and evangelicalism denies them that unless they "normalize" themselves.
