The day I met a ‘gay conversion therapist’
It's been a long time since I had an "unwanted same-sex attraction", as Mike would put it. I'm an out homosexual man, a comedian, I co-host the UK's biggest Homosexual podcast and regularly chat about sexuality and equality both on TV, on stage and to our international podcast audience - but I remember a moment when a 13-year-old me was less confident.
We're constantly hearing theories as to why LGBTQ+ people remain and at 13, surrounded by direct people, our predominantly heterosexual planet sowed a seed of doubt and shame in my soul about being same-sex attracted. I realised my life was about to be a lot more hard as a queer man and, for a split second, I genuinely wished I could've been straight.
Even in 2019, it's actually pretty easy to see why you might want someone to turn you heterosexual. Homophobic despise crimes in the UK are on the rise. Recently, a survey suggested 58% of same-sex attracted men are scared to hold hands with a spouse in public.

Mental health support if you're lesbian, gay, multi-attracted or trans (LGBTQ+)
Mental health problems such as depression or self-harm can affect any of us, but they're more usual among people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBTQ+).
This may be linked to LGBTQ+ people's experience of discrimination, homophobia or transphobia, bullying, social isolation, or rejection because of their sexuality.
Other things, such as their age, religion, where they exist, and their ethnicity can attach extra complications to an already difficult situation.
How talking therapy can help
It might not be easy, but getting help with issues you're struggling to deal with on your own is one of the most important things you can do.
Talking with a therapist who's trained to operate with LGBTQ+ people may help with issues such as:
- difficulty accepting your sexual orientation
- coping with other people's reactions to your sexuality
- feeling your body does not reflect your true gender (gender dysphoria)
- transitioning
- low self-esteem
- self-harm
- suicidal thoughts
- depression
- coping with bullying and discrimination
- anger, isolation or rejection from family, friends or your co
