00:00:01 Speaker 1: John Paulk was my nemesis. I knew in order to live a rich and fulfilling life, one riot was equal under the law and could be happy and fulfilled. I needed to defeat the message that John Paulk was peddling. 00:00:20 Speaker 2: I'm John Paulk. For years, I was the poster boy of the conversion therapy movement, the ex gay who married an ex lesbian and traveled the world telling my story of how I changed my sexuality from gay to stray. I wore the label of X gay with pride. That was all until well, we'll get to that part. 00:00:46 Speaker 1: He's like, you know, a car wreck, and that people can't keep their eyes off him. He evokes a reaction he did with me. 00:00:52 Speaker 3: I remember it being a major blow to the evangelical community to see one of their brightest, hottest stars go down. 00:01:01 Speaker 2: John has never been anything that gay, but he really tried hard not to be. John just seemed like a different person, willing to do whatever it took. Once upon a time, I was on sixty Minutes Oprah, the front cover of Newsweek magazine, and you might have heard me tell my story, but you've never heard the real story. 00:01:23 Speaker 3: I hated him. 00:01:24 Speaker 1: I hated Jem Paul because he was very good at what he did. 00:01:29 Speaker 2: So join me as I peel back the layers and expose what happened to me in the midst of conversion therapy, to shine a light on what the X game movement does to people and the pain it continues to cause. And as I look too at the harm I did from within. 00:01:48 Speaker 3: It, I'd lost one hundred fifty pounds because if I couldn't control my sexuality, I was going to control my weight. 00:01:56 Speaker 4: It sounded like and this is the word I used, and I said, I'm concerned for him. I don't want him to get caught in something that is going to be a bad situation for it. 00:02:10 Speaker 2: Listen to Atonement the John Paulk Story starting on January thirteenth on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
