The "Ex Gay" business has had another well deserved setback. The organization Trueth Wins Out has filed a complaint against the non-profit Americans For Truth and it’s leader for selling a video titled, "It’s Not Gay".
The video centers on Michael Johnston, an allegedly ex-gay who was "cured" through the power of Jesus Christ. Johnston was supposedly living a heterosexual lifestyle when he was caught on video having sex with other men. To top it off, Johnston is HIV+ and apparently had unprotected sex without telling his partners of his status. Nowhere does the video mention that Johnston’s cure didn’t work.
Truth Wins Out’s Executive Director Wayne Besen wrote in the letter to Illinois Attorney General:
"This organization is undeniably peddling false hope to vulnerable and desperate
people and bilking them out of their hard earned money. In doing so, Americans
for Truth is unscrupulously capitalizing on the sincere and heartfelt religious
convictions of its followers and exploiting them for the organization’s
financial gain."
