| style="padding:15px;" |''“When I was 13 years of age, I was forcefully raped by a family friend. I was too afraid to tell anyone, especially my dad. He always said, "If anyone ever hurts my little girl, I'll kill him." He was a big man, and I was afraid he'd do just that. So I "stuffed" down the fear and anger for the next 15 years. Bitterness brewed inside. In fact, my real self, my femininity was buried by it, although I didn't realize that for years.”''<div style="padding-left:40px;">— Starla Allen<ref name="AllenTestimony">{{cite web |title=Uncovering the Real Me |author=Starla Allen |publisher=Love In Action |url=http://associate.com/testimonies/starla_a.html |quote=It was another three years before He got me in contact with ex-gay ministry.
