Founder of 'ex-gay' Freedom March Jeffrey McCall admits to (still) sleeping with men [View all]
McCall is the founder and CEO of the group Freedom March, which describes itself as a diverse group of Jesus followers who have been delivered from LGBTQ identities and holds marches to oppose bans on conversion therapy. He describes himself as both a former homosexual and a former transgender woman.
He found fame in ex-gay circles after he appeared in the Netflix conversion therapy documentary Pray Away as an example of the movement enduring presence. Despite his promotion of religion as conversion therapy, McCall made a surprising or to many, unsurprising statement recently on his Facebook page.
McCall told his followers that he wanted to share about my falling short of the glory of God, and admitted to giving [his] heart away to a straight man he was trying to help.
He continued: After denying what I wanted with him I then went on to fall sexually with a man when I felt wounded and lonely. This led to multiple falls with men over time.
Despite his obvious hypocrisy, McCall insisted that he was still ex-gay, and went on: I am just a peasant who tried to help save peoples eternal lives and point them to Jesus all while going through my own process.
This falling short of the glory of God is not dictating my future. I have no plans or desires to return to my old life. If anything it makes me never want to fall into that sin ever again.
