| “Going through old pictures of the night of Pulse, I remember my struggles of perversion, heavy drinking to drown out everything and having promiscuous sex that led to HIV. My struggles were real! The enemy had its grip, and now God has taken me from that moment and has given me Christ.” — Luis Javier Ruiz[1]

Luis Javier Ruiz is a survivor of the June 2016 mass shooting at the Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, where 49 people were killed by Omar Mateen in an act of Islam-inspired terrorism.[2] Now Ruiz says he should have been number 50 in the massacre death toll but he has found Christ instead and is no longer gay. Ruiz was featured in a social media post for the May 5 (2018) Freedom March (an event “celebrating freedom from homosexual/transgender lifestyles”) above the words “Homosexuals Can Change!”. While appealing to the same-sex attracted around the country and the world on knees, Ruiz concluded his impassioned message at march by saying that what’s important is having a relationship with Jesus Christ.[1][3][4]
