 I'm an ex-gay. I was a homosexual for 33 years. So a couple things. Ex-gays don't exist. Usually people who claim to be ex-gays are one of two kinds of people. Either they still have same-sex attractions, meaning they're still gay, but they choose to suppress those attractions and live a straight life, or they are people whose sexuality was on a spectrum to begin with. Number one, this pastor discounts God's transforming power in the many stories of people that have had their same-sex attraction taken away. Yes, there are still many people that identify as ex-gay and still have same-sex attractions, but the difference here is they don't make those attractions their identity. Progressive Christians encourage these folks to take their desires on as their identity, and if they don't, they treat it as some sort of self-imposed abuse. But people who identify as ex-gay are not victims, but rather children of the victorious one who gives them the power to overcome temptation. Follow for more Christ-centered content.
