Feeling as if his father couldn’t understand his struggles and help him, Christopher closed his heart, and soon his same-sex attractions began when he hit puberty. In high school and throughout college, he sought love from men and used sex to get it. After graduation, he moved to Washington, D.C. and began his career. There he became involved in a church support group with other men, and wonderful things began to change in his life.

There he wasn’t judged. He was treated like “one of the guys,” something he hadn’t experienced in high school or college. He finally was surrounded by healthy men who cared about him. Through their acceptance, he was able to restart his growth into manhood which had stopped at the age of ten, and now resumed at twenty three! Through support groups, friendships, counseling, and mentoring, Christopher was able to come out straight, and continues to celebrate his recovery!

Mr. Doyle was introduced to the Ex-Gay movement at a Love Won Out conference sponsored by Focus on the Family, and was so inspired by the courageous men and women who had experienced change from unwanted same-sex attraction (SSA) that it prompted him to begin telling his family and friends about his own healing from homosexuality. Not long after, he realized that his life’s calling was to help men and women with unwanted SSA, and began a master’s degree in counseling at Liberty University. The last four years he has worked in adolescent sexual health as a behavioral research analyst with the Institute for Youth Development. Mr. Doyle is a board member of Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays (PFOX) and is a committee member of the student/early career division of the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH).
