Conversion therapy leader McKrae Game is gay, disavows practice
For 20 years, McKrae Game led Hope for Wholeness, a faith-based conversion therapy program in South Carolina.
The discredited practice was intended to suppress or eradicate a person’s LGBTQ identity through counseling or ministry, reports The Post and Courier.
Game was fired from the group and in June announced he was gay. Game, 51, told The Post and Courier that he is coming to terms with the harm he inflicted while he was working to change people’s sexuality.
“Conversion therapy is not just a lie, but it’s very harmful,” Game told The Post and Courier. “Because it’s false advertising.”
Game is one of several conversion therapy advocates who came out as LGBTQ and are now looking to join the community they spent years denouncing.
