David Matheson, a Mormon who has been described as the "intellectual godfather" of the "conversion therapy" movement, and spent years "helping" gay men remain in hetero marriages, has publicly stated that he's gay and is now actively looking for a gay boyfriend. He recently divorced his wife of 34 years. In his facebook statement outing himself, Matheson "acknowledged his work has hurt some people, but he would not fully renounce “conversion therapy.” Instead, he blamed what he referred to as the “shame-based, homophobic-based system” of the Mormon church in which he was raised. He acknowledged that he perpetuated that system, but he also argued that he helped some men who wished to live “in congruence” with their faith."
