"I
think the ex-gay movement will be dead within the next 10 years. As
churches become more gay-affirming, parents and church leaders won’t
seek parachurch ministries to 'fix' in gay Christians what isn’t broken.
The fact that the ex-gay movement has been a monumental failure with
no real, lasting change in those who have sought to negate same-sex
attractions and become heterosexual will become more and more apparent
to the average lay Christian. This is especially true in the age of
social media, when information spreads like wildfire and can’t easily be
suppressed. I’m sure there will be pockets of people here and there
who will still try to change someone’s orientation. But the movement as
a relevant entity in the push for LGBT rights will be defunct." -
