Former LGBTQers Testimonies

LUIS RUIZ FROM ORLANDO, FLORIDA:
“For a long time, I was very broken and hurt.  I found out that I was HIV positive because I was promiscuous. My generation would say a ‘ho.’ While I was searching for men, sleeping around a lot, I didn’t realize that there was a man looking for me.” “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.”

ANGEL COLON, A MASS SHOOTING SURVIVOR:
“My name is Angel Colon. I am a former homosexual. I am a survivor of the Pulse Nightclub shooting on June 12, 2016. I was shot six times, sustained a shattered femur and suffered nerve damage.  A day I will never forget — a big turning point in my life.  Even in the midst of chaos, I prayed and prophesied over my life that I would survive and live free.  And here I am today, standing here with no pain, here in the Capitol with my Changed family. Many think I’ve made my decision to leave the LGBT community lifestyle because of the shooting.  But I was desiring change way before June 12, 2016.  Going through this horrible tragedy made me make the biggest decision in my life, which I’m very happy with.  I made this decision a year after the Pulse nightclub shooting — finding what was the most important thing in my life, which was finding my true identity. Which was in Christ. And today I stand here in the Capitol, sharing to the world that change is possible. Yes, I am known as a Pulse survivor, but I really want to be known as living proof that God does transform lives.”

KATHYGRACE DUNCAN OF PORTLAND, OREGON:
“My name is KathyGrace Duncan, I’m from Portland Oregon and I’m a former trans-man, former transgender.     Before I went to kindergarten, at a very early age like three or four, I believed that I should have been a man. I felt that I should have been a man.    Dysfunctional family situations: my dad was  very emotionally and verbally abusive to my mom, which told me that women were hated, women were weak and they were vulnerable.” “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.”

CHRISTOPHER SIMS, WAS TORTURED BY HIS PARENTS:
“I’m a person who formerly had a same-sex attraction.  When I was very young in New York City, my father – who is a pastor – raped me.  And when I got to kindergarten, my mother and my father decided to take me out of school.  And I was taken out of school for a total of eight years.  And during that time, I was tortured by my mother.  My mother was very hurt by men.  So any sign of masculinity was a trigger and a threat to her.  I can remember her beating me with a wire hanger until I was bloody and putting alcohol all over my body as I stood in front of a mirror.  And I learned at that moment that I could not be masculine. I learned that I had to be effeminate. I had to emulate my sisters to avoid triggering her and so that I could survive.” “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.'”
