NBC News: A
group of people from across the country who formerly identified as gay
and transgender have descended upon Washington this week to share their
stories and lobby against two proposed LGBTQ-rights bills.
The group is made up of 15 members of Church United and Changed,
two California-based organizations that seek to provide community for,
and protect the rights of, “formers” — individuals who formerly
identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.
The
bills the group is lobbying against are H.R. 5, better known as the
Equality Act, and H.R. 3570, or the Therapeutic Fraud Prevention Act.
Both have been supported by the country’s major LGBTQ advocacy
organizations, though neither is expected to become law anytime soon.
