Local Prominent Utah Mormon 'ex-gay' therapist affirms he is gay
A Mormon Utah man known to the world for his work in the “ex-gay” movement, also known as conversion therapy or reparative therapy, has announced to the world that he is ending his marriage to a woman and seeking a relationship with a man.
David Matheson announced on Facebook that he is gay.
“A year ago I realized I had to make substantial changes in my life. I realized I couldn’t stay in my marriage any longer. And I realized that it was time for me to affirm myself as gay.”
He has deep roots in the reparative therapy movement, including being the author of Becoming a Whole Man: Principles & Archetypes, founder of the Center for Gender Wellness, co-creator of People Can Change and the Journey Into Manhood, and executive director of Evergreen International (now North Star.)
He has been a go-to therapist for gay men who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
