You are not alone. If you are struggling with gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender feelings, you need to know that there are millions of us who have shared your journey. You do not have to believe what you are being told about yourself in your counseling or restorative therapy. There is freedom from the cycle of pain, shame and fear caused by restorative therapy. If you're gay or think you might be gay, you don't have to allow yourself to be recruited into a simulated heterosexual lifestyle. Self-acceptance is the only real way to end the relentless and dangerous rollercoaster of reparative/restorative therapy. Tired of pretending? Tired of lying to yourself and others? Tired of living a dual life? You can change the direction of your life and find peace, hope, love and happiness. Your journey to self acceptance is not an easy one. However, it will be an honest one. Most of us on this journey have found that the hardest things and the right things are usually the same thing. It is much easier to go with the crowd and pretend that you are adapting a simulated heterosexual lifestyle. But that never lasts for very long. The guilt from the lying and the shame from hurting people you love by not being honest can be devastating. Still, you are not alone. Your faith in self-acceptance is the only way to live a |
fulfilled and happy life. Real, unconditional love, personal peace and true happiness are waiting for you. To find out more about starting your journey to self-acceptance, send us an email and share your journey with us. Unlike what you've already experienced with restorative options, you won't be discarded or judged because you have questions or doubts. Wondering why we are reaching for you?

LIGHT You said that I could find peace, and you told me I was worthless. You said that I could smile again, then you turned out the light. You were no different than the others, expecting what I could never give. Promising the road to hope Then leaving me alone, lonely and afraid. You said I chose what I lived, then you told me the price I would pay. You said my life would change, then abandoned me when I lost my way. Your truth was a lie. Maybe you thought it would become real if you told it enough. You said my failure to change was a lack of faith. Then I cried and cried and cried. You said I lacked desire and sincerity, then I fell to pieces and died inside. I loved life but could not live mine. You beat me then stole my last breath. You said to ignore the sound of footsteps -- the sound of others on the same road. Then I knew I had to find strength. You said that to live any other way was unacceptable. Then I knew I only had to accept myself. The road is long and lonely. Even though so many are walking. I will leave a light. from Light by Marc Adams |
