In this episode of the 'Sex, Drugs, and Jesus' podcast, host De’Vannon Seráphino introduces Lucas Frederick William Wilson, a conversion therapy survivor and post-doctoral fellow at the University of Calgary. Lucas discusses his upcoming book, 'Shame, Sex, Attraction: Survivors' Stories of Conversion Therapy,' which compiles harrowing stories from individuals who have endured conversion practices.
