Boy Erased | Garrard Conley | Talks at Google

Garrard Conley is the New York Times Bestselling author of "Boy Erased," a powerful, compassionate memoir about his experiences as a gay teenager who was outed by a college classmate and compelled by his Baptist Christian family to attend "ex-gay" conversion therapy. "Boy Erased" was nominated for a Lambda Literary award, and was adapted into a feature film starring Lucas Hedges, Nicole Kidman, and Russell Crowe.
In this interview, Conley discusses his struggles with sexuality and faith, his relationships with his family, and how he ultimately escaped conversion therapy to live as an openly gay man.
