McKrae Game: Outlawing 'gay conversion' therapy

BBC World Service - HARDtalk, McKrae Game: Outlawing 'gay conversion' therapy

Why a former 'gay conversion' advocate has disavowed the movement

McKrae Game founded an organisation which told young gay Americans their sexual orientation was a “sin they must reject”. He now says he is sorry for the harm he did.

In some countries, attitudes towards homosexuality have moved from prejudice and persecution to acceptance and legal protection. But very few nations have specifically outlawed 'gay conversion' therapy, a practice usually linked to religious movements which still demonise homosexuality. Stephen Sackur speaks to McKrae Game, who founded an organisation which told thousands of young gay Americans their sexual orientation was a “sin they must reject”. Four years ago, he quit. Now, he says he is sorry for the harm he did, but is it too little, too late?
