A beautiful, raw and compassionate memoir about identity, love and understanding.
The son of a Baptist pastor and deeply embedded in church life in small town Arkansas, as a young man Garrard Conley was terrified and conflicted about his sexuality.
When Garrard was a nineteen-year-old college student, he was outed to his parents, and was forced to make a life-changing decision: either agree to attend a church-supported conversion therapy program that promised to “cure” him of homosexuality; or risk losing family, friends, and the God he had prayed to every day of his life. Through an institutionalized Twelve-Step Program heavy on Bible study, he was supposed to emerge heterosexual, ex-gay, cleansed of impure urges and stronger in his faith in God for his brush with sin. Instead, even when faced with a harrowing and brutal journey, Garrard found the strength and understanding to break out in search of his true self and forgiveness.
By confronting his buried past and the burden of a life lived in shadow, Garrard traces the complex relationships among family, faith, and community. At times heart-breaking, at times triumphant, this memoir is a testament to love that survives despite all odds.
Being gay is an unreasonable pain one was born to undertake, therefore an unwarranted sin. Being gay isn’t an abomination, but forcing gays to conversion is; needn't show repentance to your sexual orientation, cos sexuality is integrated in your unique shining identity, it’s part of your body, your soul, your spirit, and cannot be erased.

评分#震惊了…这种去同性恋倾向的“治疗机构”和邪教有什么区别? 这种毫无人性的机构(劝参与者自杀),之所以在之前有市场(特别是美国南部),作者说是因为宗教信仰的关系;而这种机构给参与者带来的创伤可能会一辈子都存在。好在书的最后说,目前这种机构在美国已经被禁止了。 希望是吧。
