Strength in Weakness Survivors in Canada - Conversion Therapy Report

Seeking to speak with Strength in Weakness Survivors in Canada - MOD APPROVED Hi everyone. I’m an investigative journalist withUncloseted Media, an LGBTQ investigative publication. I’m currently reporting onStrength in Weakness Ministries, a Christian ministry founded by Guy Hammond that has worked with people experiencing same-sex attraction. We recently published an investigation based on interviews with former participants, family members, experts and others connected to the organization: https://www.unclosetedmedia.com/p/strength-in-weakness-guy-hammonds I’m now continuing that reporting with a particular focus onCanada, where Strength in Weakness is based and where federal law has prohibited conversion therapy since January 2022. I’m hoping to speak with people in Canada who have had direct experience withStrength in Weakness, Guy Hammond, the International Churches of Christ, or similar Christian programs or counseling aimed at changing, suppressing or managing someone’s sexual orientation. I know these experiences can be extremely personal and sensitive. Reaching out doesnotmean you are agreeing to be quoted or identified in a story. I’m happy to speak initiallyoff the record, and we can discuss confidentiality, anonymity and what you are or are not comfortable sharing before any interview takes place. If you have experience with this, even if you’re unsure whether what you went through would be considered “conversion therapy," I’d be grateful to hear from you. You can message me privately here or email me [email redacted]. You can also learn more about me and my previous reporting through my Uncloseted Media work and portfolio. Thank you to the moderators for allowing me to post this, and to anyone willing to consider speaking with me.

Moderate & Right-Wing Trans Adults - Reception & Misconceptions

Uncloseted Media reporter looking to speak with people who are moderate/right-wing politically Hi! I’m a reporter working with LGBTQ publication, Uncloseted Media. I am currently working on a story about trans people who lean right-wing politically, or who otherwise do not fall into the category of "democrat" or "left-wing." The article will focus on things like: How have your political beliefs been received by other members of the LGBTQ community? Have you faced backlash for your beliefs? Most people don’t expect a trans person to be moderate/right-wing, why do you think that is? What do you think the most common misconceptions about moderate/right-wing trans people are? If this sounds like you, I'd love to get in touch! And if you have any questions for me, I am happy to answer them first. I can be reached here and at [email redacted]. Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks, Emma Paidra
