A gay man was pushed by his church to marry a woman to 'cure' himself. Another was told to swear off men forever. Now both of their stories are inside an official Vatican document. The Vatican released the report on 5 May. It's the first time an official church document has included detailed gay testimony about the harm caused by conversion therapy. The American man had been sent to Courage, a Catholic group that instructs gay people to remain celibate for life. The Vatican now calls Courage "problematic." The man from Portugal described the "devastating effects" of being pushed toward heterosexuality - a program that left him, in the Vatican's own words, with "profound suffering," "personal lacerations," and a "double life." The report concludes that sin lies not in a same-sex relationship, but in "a lack of faith in a God who desires our fulfillment." Rev. James Martin, who leads the LGBTQ+ Catholic ministry Outreach, called it the first Vatican publication ever to include detailed testimony from gay Catholics. A lesbian lay minister in Los Angeles called it "historic." The Vatican still hasn't fully condemned conversion therapy. But it's now official - on the record, in their own words.
