|author=Dennis Jernigan |publisher=DennisJernigan.com |quote=I used to struggle daily with unwanted same sex attraction – unwanted homosexuality. From my earliest recollections I felt drawn to other males. Many circumstances came my way that only seemed to reinforce those feelings. When I was five years old an adult male confronted me in a sexual manner. As a child I was very emotionally sensitive, artistic, and musical…and the other boys at school in my formative years seemed to relish in reminding me how much of a fag I was. In my college days, a friend and mentor – married with children, Christian, and community leader – made a sexual advance…and I was convinced this was my lot in life. The only problem with that is that I became more miserable than ever. When I got to the end of my rope, God met me there with a new identity and the power to change my way of thinking. To my great dismay (but not to my surprise), the world has begun to think in an upside-down manner, calling what is righteous ridiculous and what is perverse normal and acceptable.|accessdate=2 Jul 2016}}</ref></div>

| style="padding:15px;" |“Finally, someone really paid attention to me. He was an older second cousin who sexually molested me at age 12. I kept this dark shame a secret, for 13 years, telling no one until I was 25. This, and other factors, opened the door to homosexual attraction. ... I didn’t choose to have homosexual feelings. My research and experience has shown the development of my [[same-sex attraction]] was rooted in a number of factors: an absent father, abusive stepfather, strong-willed grandmother, passive grandfather, sensitive personality and sexual abuse. These were things that happened to me.”<div style="padding-left:40px;">— Dave, a special guest at the 2016 [[NEA Ex-Gay Educators' Caucus]] booth. <ref name="SHALVORS28102016">{{cite web |title=Dave's Testimony |url=https://nea-exgay.org/|author=Susan Halvorson |publisher=NEA Ex-Gay Educators Caucus |quote= |accessdate=17 Jul 2017}}</ref></div>
