The actor Matthew Hyndman, known for his role in the show Traitors, recently shared his personal journey of escaping gay conversion therapy in his twenties.
Hyndman revealed that he faced attempts to change his sexuality by his church in Northern Ireland while working as a missionary. Despite pressure to conform, he stood firm and later founded the Ben Conversion Therapy movement advocating against such practices.
Reflecting on his past, Hyndman expressed relief at refusing counseling, emphasizing that he did not need to alter his identity. He eventually moved to London to start anew, facing estrangement from his family.
In related news, the Labour party in 2024 proposed legislation to outlaw conversion therapy for LGBTQ individuals, aiming to protect their freedom to explore their sexual orientation and gender identity. However, the implementation of a nationwide ban on conversion practices has encountered delays.
Meanwhile, fans eagerly anticipate the return of The Traitors on BBC One, following a dramatic episode where contestant Matt made bold moves in the game. The show’s suspenseful plot twists keep viewers engaged as they await the unfolding drama.
