John Paulk

John Paulk (born April 13, 1963) is a former advocate and promoter of the ex-gay movement and conversion therapy and author. He was the founder and former leader of the ministry Love Won Out, which was launched by the organization Focus on the Family. From 1998 to 2003, he was chairman of the board of Exodus International North America. His 1998 autobiography ''Not Afraid to Change'' addressed his sexuality and attempts to change his same-sex desires. Later that year, after an incident in which Paulk was revealed to have attended a gay bar, both organizations disciplined him, but he remained with Focus on the Family until 2003. He resigned as Exodus board chairman but continued his elected position until his term was completed. In 2005, Paulk opened a catering business in Portland, Oregon.
In the April 2013 issue of ''PQ Monthly'', he was quoted as stating that he no longer supported the ex-gay movement or efforts to attempt to change individuals' sexual orientation, and that he was in the process of ending his marriage to his wife, Anne. The couple divorced in June 2013.
==Biography==
A native of the Columbus, Ohio, Paulk attended Fort Hayes High School for the Performing Arts and The Ohio State University, where he majored in music/voice. During the late 1980s, Paulk managed Cocolat, a San Francisco patisserie owned by Alice Medrich.
Paulk claimed that he overcame his homosexuality following his conversion to Christianity, through a combination of counseling, groups, prayer, and his relationship with God. He identified himself as a heterosexual. Paulk's wife, Anne, also identified as ex-gay. John Paulk co-wrote the book ''Not Afraid to Change'' with Tony Marko and ''Love Won Out'' with Anne Paulk.〔Paulk, John, (Marko, Tony) ''Not Afraid to Change: The Remarkable Story of How One Man Overcame Homosexuality'' Winepress Publishing, ISBN 1-57921-097-X〕〔Paulk, John, (Paulk, Anne) ''Love Won Out: How God's Love Helped 2 People Leave Homosexuality and Find Each Other'' Focus on the Family Pub, ISBN 1-56179-783-9〕 Both books are out of print and John Paulk has nothing to do with sales of books that might be in current circulation. He takes no monies from these publications.
