Raised as an Evangelical Christian and taught that homosexuality was a sin, Mel fought to overcome his own homosexual orientation for decades in all ways available to him: prayer, psychotherapy, exorcism, electric shock, marriage and family. Mel White has been a Christian minister, author, and filmmaker for all of his adult life. In this Lavender Lunch Mel White discusses Clobber the Passages and presents LGBTQ+ people in a healthy new light that banishes that dark cloud of guilt and shame that hangs over too many queer people’s lives. Instead, he blows away that dark cloud by celebrating the truth learned from America’s leading mental and physical health professionals. In his recently-published book Clobber the Passages, Mel White doesn’t bother to explain the verses again. Those verses have forced many LGBTQ+ persons to live their lives under a cloud of shame and guilt. For centuries, evangelicals who read the Bible have literally misused seven verses to convince the world that homosexuality is a sin and that homosexuals are sinners.
