Since 1976, Exodus International positioned itself as a leader in the ex-gay movement and professed to rid people of their homosexuality. This week the group announced it’s shutting down. On June 20, Exodus president Alan Chambers issued an apology to gays and lesbians for the “pain and hurt” Exodus caused and acknowledged that he “conveniently omitted my ongoing same-sex attractions.”

On a new career adventure, I perform as a Stage Hypnotist (clubs, fundraisers, private shows, etc; www.BrandonTheHypnotist.com), as well as maintain a private practice in downtown Toronto as a Certified Consulting Hypnotist and Hypnotherapist (in short, I use hypnosis to help people overcome everyday problems.) Between August 1993 and January 2016, I worked with Pink Triangle Press (publisher of this website) as Publisher & Editor-in-chief and Director of Publishing. I joined PTP in August 1993 to establish the Ottawa operation and launch (then called) Capital Xtra, later rebranded to Xtra Ottawa. During my 22.5 year tenure with PTP, I lived and worked in Ottawa, Vancouver, and since 2001, Toronto. At some point, I served as Publisher & Editor-in-chief of every print product PTP published.
