Tacoma, Washington based author Marcus James joins us to talk about his writing and being a survivor of so called ‘conversion therapy’. Marcus explains knowing he was gay from a young age and being proud but then facing being put through ‘conversion therapy’ based on his family’s religious background mainly by his grandfather. Marcus is concerned that religious freedom legislation may prevent a total ban of the abusive practice being possible.
