Aaron Goldenberg - Homeschool, Conversion Therapy, and Finally Coming Out

<p>Aaron Goldenberg, actor, comedian, and (hilarious) content creator, joins Lola and Meagan to talk about being gay as a Christian child, what it was like learning Bill Gothard&rsquo;s IBLP homeschool curriculum as a boy, and how his parents discovered his queerness and sent him to conversion therapy.</p> <p>He talks about Exodus International, a now-disbanded &ldquo;ex-gay&rdquo; Christian ministry that taught that you could heal your gayness (until its president apologized to the gay community and said it didn&rsquo;t work), doubling down on his belief that he could force himself to be straight, and how getting sober finally forced him to confront the truth and accept himself for who he really was.</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
