It’s shockgly siar to the ttimony given by the lears of the ex-gay movement over thirty years ago, several of whom are featured Pray Away after leavg the movement and formally apologizg to the LGBTQ muny.

John Plk, for stance, was the poster child for the “former homosexual” who succsfully nverted to the straight liftyle. He appeared wh his wife Anne on the ver of Newsweek magaze 1998, and both of them appeared on talk show after talk show to reunt how both of them were gay, but ma a nsc effort to change.

And why hasn’t Fixer Upper ever featured a gay uple while other HGTV shows have — is bee the hosts believe what Seibert preach? Specifilly, she c Seibert’s ments that most LGBTQ people are LGBTQ bee they were abed, and that he believ ’s possible for gay people to bee straight if they m to dog so:.

What we do know is that there hasn’t been a gay uple featured on any of Fixer Upper’s 40-pl episos to date (the upl featured also tend to be whe); that fact was the apparent impet for Aurthur’s article. Is the lack of gay upl featured on Fixer Upper the Ga’ choice, and if is, then is discrimatn? Ameri’s gay muni are bet wh elevated rat of anxiety, prsn, substance abe, and suici.
