Someone did, 21 year old in the Washington Blade article http://www.washblade.com/print.cfm?content_id=5967 Twenty-one-year-old J.M., who spoke on condition on anonymity, said that he was sent to Love in Action by his parents at the recommendation of a Christian counselor when he was 17.
“The place was like a Nazi camp. I lost faith in God, friends, family.”
