Silent Gays is a support and resource project designed to help LGBT+ people who have been through religious abuse (including conversion therapy) deconstruct their beliefs and find healing, self-worth, and their own unique spirituality.

We directly address the abuses of religion and "Conversion Therapy/Practices"

Provides safe spaces for peer support and acceptance

Assist with the process of "deconstructing"

Facilitate seminars, workshops and support groups

And provide a comprehensive range of resources

Our core standards are love, acceptance, compassion, nurture and empathy.

Conversion Practices - help and resources

In New Zealand, all forms of Conversion Practices which aim to change anyone's sexuality and gender identity, are illegal. Silent Gays is honoured to have been part of this process, as well as working with the Human Rights Commission to establish processes for helping anyone navigate this law.

Their website provides comprehensive help for anyone who might think they have been affected in any way by these practices. Their staff are trained, compassionate, confidential and respectful, and will guide you through every step, offering the best solutions to your particular needs and situation.

The core of Silent Gays work and philosophy is the CORE (Coming Out of Religious Experience) Book and Workbook.

These books provide a unique and radical approach to better mental health and a whole new outlook on life, free from the dogma of religion.
