The incomparable Box Turtle Bulletin has recorded exclusive video interviews with the three former ex-gay Exodus leaders who apologized for their past ex-gay/antigay advocacy at a press conference yesterday. The apologies were aired at a press conference and reported by the Los Angeles Times.
The interviews include:
Michael Bussee, co-founder of Exodus International
Darlene Bogle, Paraklete Ministries, Hayward, California
Jeremy Marks, former president, Exodus International Europe
In further video recorded last September by filmmaker Esteban Rael (Me and God) and aired this week by Box Turtle Bulletin, Bussee explains why he co-founded Exodus, how he and his future partner came to understand that Exodus’ philosophy was fundamentally flawed, and what he thinks of Exodus’ recruitment of youths.

Have ppl from EXODUS officially denied/covered up/distanced themselves from any involvement with these individuals in their past yet?

Exodus (presumedly Alan) wrote the following on the Exodus site in September 2006:
I find Exodus’ statement to be unctuous. Why would any organization be this generous with those who discredit its message? Keep in mind that this is the same Exodus that is shamelessly involved in culture war politics.
