Jay Whitehead just wanted to belong. After he came out to his church, he was sent to conversion therapy, a little talked about practice that led to disastrous consequences.

Devon Hargreaves and Jennifer Takahashi are working to have conversion therapy banned for minors throughout Canada, while Jay shares his own personal and inspiring story.
