A Shattered Identity in God's Name
In 2004, nineteen-year-old Garrard Conley sat in a sterile room at Love in Action, an "ex-gay" conversion therapy program in Memphis. His journal had been ripped apart, his possessions confiscated, and his very sense of self under systematic attack. The whitewashed building with its inverted red triangle logo-a heart cut out from its center-perfectly symbolized the program's philosophy: the removal of what they deemed sinful, the extraction of the heart itself. Upon arrival, Garrard received a 274-page handbook declaring in no uncertain terms: "You are NOT YOUR OWN, but you have been bought for a price." This surrender of autonomy wasn't metaphorical-it was the foundation of everything that followed. When staff discovered his journal of short stories, they deemed it forbidden "journaling" and tore out the pages before his eyes, discarding his creative work like contraband. This moment of violation marked the beginning of a systematic attempt to deconstruct and rebuild his identity according to their fundamentalist blueprint.
