In honor of the earlier-mentioned National Suicide Prevention Week, I'd like to highlight a new video from Truth Wins Out (TWO) featuring Patrick McAlvey, an "Exodus Survivor."

McAlvey (who is pretty dreamy, in my unrelated opinion), endured torment during "ex-gay therapy," only to come out in the end as a proud gay man hoping to spare others the harm he faced.
