- Quotes
Self - Former Board President, Exodus: I realized that my dishonesty hurt people. Because I was dishonest, it caused people in the audience - people that were struggling with homosexuality or had gay feelings - to feel like, "There must be something wrong with me 'cause I'm not like him. And he doesn't- he's not tempted anymore. So if I'm tempted, I must be broken and damaged."
Also, showing the current Exodus replacement was confusing. Yes, we know there are awful people out there but why are we giving them even more attention?! If they focused instead on the people that have escaped these cults and how they've thrived in spite of the trauma they experienced then there might have been more of a point to this film. But instead the filmmakers seemed to want to offer "equal time" to the proven false and hateful practice of conversion therapy.
