Jason Dean came on the show to chat about growing up in Independence, Missouri, with evangelical Christian parents, homeschooling, and what it meant to be gay in his house. Then he shares his experience that led him to admit himself into a gay conversion therapy program for an entire year in Wichita, Kansas, in hopes of becoming straight.
