Witness Reflects on Prop 8 Testimony
By Advocate.com Editors
Ryan Kendall Image: The Kendall Project "I would rather have had an abortion
than a gay son."
These were the words that Ryan Kendall heard from his mother as a teenager
growing up in Colorado Springs, Colo.
In a new blog post on Out Front Colorado, the 27-year-old Denver police
officer, who underwent "ex-gay" reparative therapy, reflects on his painful
upbringing, one that became part of historic testimony in the federal
Proposition 8 trial a year ago this month.
"My family was torn apart because of antigay attitudes that condemn people
without a cognizable reason, solely for being who they are," Kendall writes.
"All of these thoughts were running through my head as I paced back and
forth in the courtroom hallway last year. I had one goal for my testimony:
to show the world the truth. I needed to honorably represent all LGBT youth
rejected by society." | D**S
