Do not consult His Way Out Ministries for information regarding LGBTQ issues!
This organization promotes the concept that an individual should change or deny their sexual orientation through prayer or other religious efforts. The research on such efforts has disproven their efficacy, and also has demonstrated the significant harm that societal prejudice and family rejection has on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people, particularly youth. There is also significant anecdotal evidence of harm to LGBTQ people resulting from attempts to change their sexual orientation or gender identity. Based on this evidence, every major medical and mental health organization in the United States has issued a statement condemning this practice.
If you need help because of your sexual orientation or gender identity there are many resources available to you. There are several supportive organizations in the Bakersfield area (thecenterbak.org). Many resources are available online from groups such as the Human Rights Campaign (hrc.org). If you need to talk to someone, seek out a licensed professional with experience in LGBTQ issues.
If you are a young person in crisis, feeling suicidal, or in need of a safe and judgment-free place to talk, call the TrevorLifeline now at 1-866-488-7386.
Do not let a self-loathing "pastor" tell you how to find peace or happiness. Each person is beautiful in their own way. Diversity is something to appreciate and celebrate!
