How So Random's Matthew Scott Montgomery Survived Gay Conversion Therapy

Today on Vulnerable, I am joined by a familiar Disney face, Matthew Scott Montgomery! Matthew is best known for his work on Disney Channel, most notably his role on So Random!. Matthew explains the difficulty of growing up as a queer kid in the South, and how a breakthrough theater role led him to out himself to his parents. With undeniable courage, Matthew pulls back the curtain on his experience with conversion therapy and how he broke free from it. What role did Demi Lovato play in Matthew’s journey? Was he really electrocuted and hypnotized? Why did he feel like he deserved to go to conversion therapy? Join us for this heartfelt and brave conversation.
