Default Hello, My name is Evan

My partner and I just finished watching the movie Shock to the System and saw your documentary. Both my partner and myself have been victims (correct word?) of religious intolerance (Exodus Ex-Gay ministries- myself and Focus on the Family- my partner). We eventually got out of there when we left our homes for college by the end of our teen years. Five years later we still feel the damage that it has done. We both wanted to know if you guys have ever/are planning on coming through Kansas City.

Hello Evan, welcome.

I am sorry to hear about the damage you experienced from ex-gay programs. The Soulforce forum is a wonderful place to chat with like minded people - we have some lively talks here.

I do not know if SF has an actions planned around the KC area. Maybe if you check the home page and take a look around, you might find which actions are closest to your area.

Stick around and get to know folks.

Default Welcome, Evan.

That is horrible that programs like Exodus do such damage to persons supposedly in the name of God. I heartily disagree; it is certainly NOT in the name of God to do that to persons, committing spiritual violence against them. So glad that you found us here......
