Truth Wins Out founder Wayne Besen reports:
Critics have long deduced that Christopher Doyle is divorced from reality, but the ugly reality of his bitter divorce is what will likely cause the demise of America’s most notorious “ex-gay” conversion therapist. Doyle is a licensed therapist and the Executive Director of the Institute for Healthy Families, which is promoted as “a non-profit Judeo-Christian therapeutic organization in the Washington, D.C. area.”
A new Truth Wins Out exclusive investigation, however, reveals that Christopher Doyle is the last person in America who should be doling out advice on what constitutes a healthy family. Not only has Doyle betrayed the façade that he is an upstanding religious family man, but new evidence strongly suggests that he isn’t “ex-gay”.
A series of bizarre text message exchanges with a fellow “ex-gay” activist raises profound doubt about Christopher’s alleged sexual conversion. Furthermore, Doyle appears to be in flagrant violation of the law, for years falsely portraying the Institute for Healthy Families as a 501c3 tax-deductible non-profit organization. In reality, the tax-exempt status for IHF was revoked May 15, 2020.
Read the full article. At the link you’ll find a lengthy documentation of Doyle’s divorce, which included an order of protection and allegations of emotional and physical abuse. You’ll also find screenshots of salacious text messages purportedly shared between Doyle and a fellow ex-gay activist. There’s a lot there.
As longtime JMG readers will recall, Doyle has appeared here many times since this site’s creation, most recently in 2020 when he denounced a Facebook ban on promoting ex-gay torture as an “assault on free speech and religious liberty.” In 2019, Doyle was represented by the Liberty Counsel in a failed attempt to overturn Maryland’s statewide ban on ex-gay torture.
In the video below, Doyle pleads with Dead Pat Robertson’s CBN viewers to support his attempt to take an ex-gay torture case to the US Supreme Court.
