Larry and KC Jansson found love in the midst of anti-gay �reparative� therapy

How counseling by unqualified therapists and distorted use of a 12-step program brought a young gay couple together at an �ex-gay� camp

KC Jansson came out to his parents in ninth grade. His parents sent him to counseling. Then he came out to them again as a high school senior.
...
Larry Jansson, on the other hand, lived in Southern California and had very accepting parents.
�I never thought I�d marry a small-town guy,� he said. �There was no God in my family. No church.�
KC and Larry arrived at the facility at the same time. This was KC�s first time away from home and his first time to be around other gay people.
The camp
The two described the restrictions: No cologne. No clothing by Calvin Klein. |

Nice to see that something good came out of one of those "gay reform camp" scams.
This story gave me such a big smile. Absolutely heartwarming. Thanks for posting!  |
