ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Ex-ex-gay

Okay kiddo, sometimes people who are gay think that they want to stop being gay, but that's not really possible. Some people might try really hard to change, but it just doesn't work. Other people might pretend to not be gay for a while, but they eventually realize that they're still gay.

So ex-ex-gay means someone who used to think they could change being gay but then they realized they were still gay and decided to accept themselves just the way they are. It's okay to be gay, straight, or however you feel inside, and we should all love and accept each other no matter what.
