Tune in as host Sharon Quirt chats with Sexologist Jallen Rix on how to recover from the damaging effects of the anti-gay movment…
Speaker, author, and educator, Jallen Rix has come a long way to be a sex expert. Growing up as a Southern Baptist, he was taught that spirituality was heavenly but sexuality was from the devil. He went to great lengths attempting to change his sexuality from gay to straight in an ex-gay ministry — to no avail. That experience set him on a journey of discovery that ultimately resulted in Jallen earning his Doctorate of Education in Sexology from IASHS in San Francisco, where he is now Associate Professor. This has equipped him to teach human sexuality at the university level as well as consult in private practice. Over the years, Jallen has become an expert on the damaging effects of, and recovery from, the ex-gay movement. He has appeared on TV talkshows, such as Talk or Walk and ABC’s News Magazine 20/20 (watch his appearance on youtube). He pens the popular advice column, Sex Ed in Bed. As a sexologist, Jallen’s book Ex-Gay No Way. was nominated for a Lambda Literary award in non-fiction.
