Gay man posts video of the exorcist his parents hired to turn him straight
Insider that attending conversion camp after coming out was a traumatic experience.“It was like some of the darkest moments of my entire life.
It basically just teaches you, like, learned self-hate, like learning to repress like half of your mind. It’s exhausting.”After the camp, Hartzler saw a conversion counselor three times a week for the rest of his high school.
He was then sent to the conservative Christian Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His parents thought their son would be removed from other gay people there, but Hartzler says this was not the case.“There were a lot of kids with similar situations as mine.”During his sophomore year, he again told his parents about his sexuality.
He told them he was not turning straight. It did not go down well.Hartlzer returned to university but left a hidden camera in his room as he worried about his parents going through his stuff.
