What would make a queer activist walk away from the identity, relationships, and political commitments that once defined his life?
That question sits at the center of I Am Michael, a film directed by Justin Kelly based on the real-life story of Michael Glatze. Glatze was a former gay-rights activist and magazine editor who later renounced homosexuality and became a Christian pastor.

Atonement: The John Paulk Story clips
John was an ex-gay, ex-drag queen and an evangelical Christian. He married an ex-lesbian, had three children and became the poster boy for “conversion therapy” for over 15 years, traveling across the world to preach the idea you can ‘pray away the gay’.
John Paulk was living proof that they could change, that God would love them, and that they could live a “normal” heterosexual life.
But John was living a lie: he was still gay.
Now, he’s ready to tell his story.
