One of those men lies at the heart of Besen’s complaint: Michael Johnston, an HIV-positive man who had been caught up in homosexuality since adolescence. After leaving the gay lifestyle through the power of Jesus Christ in the mid-1990s, Johnston began Kerusso Ministries in an effort to bring hope to people wanting freedom from homosexuality.

In 2001, however, Johnston relapsed and once again began having sex with men. His secret was revealed in 2003, and Johnston dissolved his ministry.

So a gay man who likes to hide in the closet starts a "ministry" that will put him in touch with lots of other gay men who also like to hide in the closet? And people were surprised when they started bringing Astroglide to bible study?
