Give Me That Old-Time Ex-Gay Snake Oil

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ls lived their lives in clubs, engaging in cheap, easy, and often public sex, or were sexually abused. For all the claptrap the religious right yells about how they don’t want to think of us “that way,” the trailer for the film is positively voyeuristic!
