The founder of one of the nation’s largest conversion therapy programs has announced that he’s gay — and disavowed the “harmful” practice.
McKrae Game, who led the faith-based conversion therapy group Hope for Wholeness in South Carolina for nearly two decades, came out of the closet this summer at 51, The Post and Courier reported Saturday.
“Conversion therapy is not just a lie, but it’s very harmful,” Game told paper. “Because it’s false advertising.”
The revelation came two years after Game was abruptly fired from Hope for Wholeness.
In the interview, the former crusader called for the dissolution of conversion therapy groups.
