Very secretly.
You weren’t already hoping that?
To be fair to Game, his struggle was a struggle because it had two opposing forces.
Just as I wouldn’t deny someone being gay, I wouldn’t deny someone being Christian. I admit I would feel sorry for them, but I accept that being Christian is a very strong force and a core identity for many people. His personal conflict has to be immense.
However, I do agree that the proselytizing and desire for conversion of others (in all of its forms) is a major negative of modern Christianity. I hope in his apologies, and in his personal journey he explores that aspect of his behavior.
I always figured he founded it as a way to get dates.
With these guys, it’s usually they either admit failure, or end up being caught with a gay prostitute in some filthy public restroom.
Another big difference is that people in twelve-step programs don’t deny whatever problem brought them there (well, those who’ve been sent there by a judge may, but either they get over the denial or they get over the mandated period). I know addicts in remission who deny that they ever touched The Stuff (for several variants thereof), but none of them goes to an AA-type program and all of them are denialism champions in many other aspects of their lives.
Yes, I’ve been wondering how often he had sex with his “clients” as part of their “therapy”.
The goal of the therapy is to present gay sex as disgusting and repulsive. So, that works.
I imagine this guy has been quietly suffering for his entire life, and I’m sure he feels bad about what he’s done. I won’t be piling on.
Unless it turns out that the whole conversion-therapy gig was just a ruse to identify potential partners… that would be just awful.
Gee. I wonder how many lives this fucker ruined, and how much money went into his pockets.
As far as him “trying to atone”, or how much he says he is “suffering” now, well fuck that noise.
