Former LGBTQers Testify on Capitol Hill: If You No Longer Want to Be Gay or Transgender, You Don't Have to Be"...Four years later I was confronted by the church, and they asked me 'Who are you? Who are you really?' And at that point, I told the truth and said, 'I'm a woman living as a man.' And the Holy Spirit blew into me. And I realized at that point I needed to go back to being the woman that He created me to be. The next day I started that journey out. Five years later—it took five years for the hormone effects to really wear off—and at that point, I crossed over and began to live fully as a woman. That was 26 years ago. And I have to say, I'm changed I'm free. I no longer struggle with the attraction to women." (Capitol Hill) — [CBN News] A number of former homosexuals and transgendered people gathered recently outside the US Congress to say sexual identity can be changed, and their changed lives are proof. (Image: via ChangedMovement.com) Here are excerpts from their remarkable testimonies of change... APRIL LOCKHART FROM ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO: "I had fully believed in this lie that gets perpetuated that people don't change, they can't change, and if you try to change them, it's detrimental to their health. And I just want to say that's a lie." "I almost missed out on some of the best and most precious moments of my life. I wasn't going to get married. I wasn't going to meet my husband. I wasn't going to get to have my own children. This is not something that my mind was even open to. I didn't know that it was a possibility for me. And I stand before you now a changed woman. I don't struggle with same-sex attraction. It's almost like it never was for me. And so I would like for that lie to stop being perpetuated. It's just simply not true. People can and do change if they want. And we need to be allowed as free Americans to seek that out. Nobody has the right to tell you you can't be what you want to be. And I did want change. And through the power of God, the Creator of heaven and earth, this was able to happen. These days we're able to happen. These moments. And I'm a happy woman. I don't suffer depression. I don't suffer with anxiety. I don't drink myself into stupors like I used to have to." LUIS RUIZ FROM ORLANDO, FLORIDA: "And His name is Jesus. I was able to find a church where they loved me. And they taught me that my identity is not my behavior. My identity was not who I thought it was. But it was a child of God. So I stand here to say that I was a homosexual, a former 'ho.' And now I am a child of God." KEVIN WHITT OF DALLAS, TEXAS: "Over the years I had had probably 5,000 sexual partners because I was a sex worker. I hated myself. I hated the fact that I was a man. I never knew how to accept myself or truly love myself. And then about six years ago, someone invited me to church." "And God began to change my life. Began to change my heart. And began to change my sexual identity, my gender confusion. And I began to heal from all those things." "Change is possible. Because if God can change me, He can change anybody." ANGEL COLON, A MASS SHOOTING SURVIVOR: KATHYGRACE DUNCAN OF PORTLAND, OREGON: "I was then molested by a family member which went on for two years, also confirming that women were weak, vulnerable and hated. At age 18, I finally surrendered and went into the lifestyle, took hormones and changed my name. From there, I began to live as a man. Two weeks later, I got saved. However, because I didn't hear from the Lord, I thought He was okay with my lifestyle." "Four years later I was confronted by the church, and they asked me 'Who are you? Who are you really?' And at that point, I told the truth and said 'I'm a woman living as a man.' And the Holy Spirit blew into me. And I realized at that point I needed to go back to being the woman that He created me to be. The next day I started that journey out. Five years later—it took five years for the hormone effects to really wear off—and at that point, I crossed over and began to live fully as a woman. That was 26 years ago. And I have to say, I'm changed I'm free. I no longer struggle with the attraction to women." ELIZABETH WONING, CHANGED MOVEMENT CO-FOUNDER: "I never had the desire to be a homosexual. But it wasn't until people began calling me homosexual, it wasn't until they began planting these seeds and saying, 'Hey, you like hair, you like to dance, you over there with the cheerleaders instead of the football players. You're a homosexual.' And so that began to create curiosity. I already suffered emotional wounds from my dad not being there, that abandonment, and I was looking for male affirmation." "For most of my teen years, I was abused by a close family member; physically abused, which led to more pain and more hurt. And so I dived into the lifestyle. I really gave myself over to promiscuity. By the time I was 18, I was stripping, I was into living the nightlife, drinking every night, partying from Sunday to Sunday." "I knew there had to be more. And then I encountered the love of God. And He came and radically changed my life. The person you see here today is not the person I used to be. I am changed, I am fulfilled, I am living my best life. I'm smiling and I'm dancing and I'm loving life. And I want to tell the government that you cannot make decisions that will block people who were like me, who needed to change and who want to change, to find freedom." CHRISTOPHER SIMS, WAS TORTURED BY HIS PARENTS: "By the time I was 18, I had been living in Alaska for a year. I had been through foster care. That was a time where the things that I had suppressed began to manifest themselves through pornography addiction. By that time I had a restraining order. I was in anger management. I was in counseling for PTSD. And I had a measure of gender dysphoria. And it was also that year that a friend who was 18 decided to force me to go to church. I wanted nothing to do with church. But when I went to that church, I saw something in those people's eyes that I had never seen before. I saw a God that my parents did not tell me about. Those people in that church—they didn't hate me or anything. They loved me. I saw life inside of them and I wanted that freedom and that life. The love that I saw inside of their eyes convicted me of the error of my ways. And I remember for three weeks just telling God how sorry I was for all the wrong that I had done. And He said 'Christopher, I love you.'" GREG QUINLAN, PRO-FAMILY NETWORK FOUNDER: "Then at 10 years old, the neighborhood boys found their dads' Playboys. You see, Hugh Hefner was my first molester. I was introduced to porn, and I became instantly addicted. At 10 years old, I was sexually active with boys in the neighborhood." "My father, on his death bed, the night before he went into a coma, said to me...I said, 'Bye, Dad. I'll see you tomorrow.' He said, 'Bye, Greg. I love you, Greg.' I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone. The very man who told me he hated me now told me he loved me. From that point on, that was my journey: when I finally forgave my father, that's when the same-sex attraction started to wane. That's when it started to leave. There are so many people trapped in homosexuality who want out, that have stories so similar to everything you've heard here. And standing right here on this stage is proof that homosexuality doesn't have to last a lifetime. Ex-gays, formers, ex-trans, prove that change is possible." These folks came to Capitol Hill to warn Congress is considering legislation banning some counseling that could lead LGBTQ people out of those lifestyles. They're leery of legislation they feel discriminates against former gays and transgenders. They said they oppose HR5, HR3570 and Senate 2008. PASTOR JIM DOMEN, CHURCH UNITED FOUNDER: KEN WILLIAMS, CHANGED MOVEMENT CO-FOUNDER: "Apparently, we're inappropriate. It's okay for everyone else to choose their sexual identity, but not with us because we're not going with the narrative. How disrespectful of us not to go along with the narrative. Well, with all due respect, what gives you the right to decide what I'd like to pursue with my sexuality? Why in the world would you or someone sitting with a gavel or someone in an elected office decide what therapy I should or should not be able to get?" ANGEL COLON, MASS SHOOTING SURVIVOR: ELIZABETH WONING, CHANGED MOVEMENT CO-FOUNDER: PASTOR JIM DOMEN, CHURCHUNITED.COM: For further help or information contact Changed Movement.
