Have You Ever Noticed
If I have same sex attraction, there’s only one option for me?
If I don’t fit in with the other boys/girls, I must be trans?
I must be affirming of the LGBTQ lifestyle, but my desire to change is not tolerated?
All I wanted was to be accepted, not politicized.
I was told abuse and porn weren’t factors, but they were for me.
Everyone should be welcoming of others’ experiences, unless I want to leave LGBTQ?
LGBTQ is complex.
California should protect freedom of conscience for everyone.
Imagine if following your conscience or religion was restricted by the government simply because you have previously identified as LGBTQ? Today, freedoms have been taken away from many Christians who seek support and encouragement to follow their faith when it involves letting go of LGBTQ identities.
Whether it’s restricting counseling from children who may have been sexually abused (like so many of us) or requiring schools to offer suicide helps that promote LGBTQ ideology (like Trevor Foundation), Californians who question their sexuality or gender are not truly free. In many States like CA (and nations across the world like Canada and Australia) following your conscience comes with public pressure and intrusion of government policy when you question your sexual identity.
Stories like ours are censored and defamed, but join us as we take a stand in June.
We started by speaking out,
now we need YOU to speak out as well.
Since we know that people DO leave LGBTQ culture, help us tell California legislators once again that:
- 1“We exist!”
- 2The LGBTQ experience is complex.
- 3There should be different pathways for people with this life experience.
- 4California must remain free—for everybody—to follow their consciences!
- 5California legislators must step away from government-mandated sexuality and stop controlling people’s identities and personal beliefs.
Join Us June 11-12th
We Will Speak Out To
Prove
We Exist
There are numerous people who want to and have left LGBTQ. Many legislators are new and have not heard our stories or that we exist.
Protect Pathways to Freedom
We are advocating for the practice of our faith that protects pathways to freedom for those who want an alternative to LGBTQ.
Equip Christians & Legislators
Learn to espond to LGBTQ culture with compassion. Join CHANGED at the Capitol to be equipped and encouraged.
how we do it
Our Two Day Event
Wednesday, June 11th
SYMPOSIUM
Hosted by CHANGED Movement and California Family Council, the day will feature presentations by well-known national experts.*
Symposium - Part 1: Societal & Cultural Impacts of Gender Ideology
What is “gender ideology” and how has it become so influential in Western culture? How can Christians effectively defend the Biblical understanding of personhood, man and woman, in today’s political climate?
Symposium - Part 2: Scientific Integrity vs. Ideological Capture: Exposing Bias in Gender Research
Policy makers lean heavily on scientific research, yet too often the data being used has been impacted by ideological bias. Whether the focus is on gender related treatments and surgeries, or so-called “conversion therapy,” researchers are finding errors and retractions are being made. This presentation will explain errors discovered in some of the most widely referenced studies and offer insight for better understanding.
Symposium - Part 3: Trauma and Gender Identity: Uncovering the underlying issues
Many therapists realize that trauma is a central factor for kids who are questioning their gender. What role can it play and how can Christians compassionately respond to this crisis among children.
*The event is free but registration is required.

What You Can Do

You'll hear those incredible testimonies of change but also be equipped to speak out yourself—with compassion, understanding, and ways to take action—by physicians and professionals. California's dangerous policies must end and freedoms must be protected.
