Mathew Shurka was put into gay conversion therapy when he was 16. He’s now able to talk about what life is like on the other side.
When Mathew Shurka came out to his family at age 16, his father was initially loving and supportive. But then, fearing for his son’s future, he sent him to a “gay conversion” therapist.
Ten years later, after battling through estrangement, fear, and depression, he has forgiven his father.
With “gay conversion therapy” back in the headlines, this story has incredible urgency.
