Ex-gay movement
The ex-gay movement consists of people and organizations that encourage people to refrain from entering or pursuing same-sex relationships, to eliminate homosexual desires, to develop heterosexual desires, or to enter into a heterosexual relationship. The "ex-gay" movement relies on the involvement of individuals who formerly identified themselves to be gay, lesbian, or bisexual but no longer do; these individuals may either claim that they have eliminated their attraction to the same sex altogether or simply that they abstain from acting on such attraction. There have been various scandals related to this movement, including some self-claimed ex-gays having been found in same-sex relationships despite having denied this, as well as controversies over gay minors being forced to go to ex-gay camps against their will, and over admissions by organizations related to the movement that conversion therapy does not work. By far the largest ex-gay organization that has existed, Exodus International, disbanded in 2013, due to the organization's president Alan Chambers wanting to abandon the name of the organization, regrettable techniques, and the narrow message of a cure and marriage rather than a relationship with Christ for all. Chambers and his wife have since started a new organization, Speak.Love., for promoting conversations on sexual orientation for all.
