Wayne Besen (born July 5, 1970) is an American LGBT rights advocate. He is a former investigative journalist for WABI-TV, a former spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign, and the founder of Truth Wins Out. Besen came out to his parents before starting his Truth Wins Out Organization. After coming out to his parents, they bought him an ex-gay DVD that could supposedly hypnotize people and turn them straight. It was that and the invitation by President George W.

  • Wayne Besen (* 5. Juli 1970) ist ein US-amerikanischer Rechtsanwalt, der sich vor allem für die Rechte von Lesben und Schwulen einsetzt. Besen war eine Zeit lang Sprecher der Human Rights Campaign. Im Jahr 2000 fotografierte Besen den Ex-Gay-Aktivisten John Paulk in einer Washingtoner Schwulenbar. Paulk bestand darauf, dass er dort lediglich die Toilette benutzt habe, während Besen und andere Zeugen angaben, dass er dort etwas getrunken habe und über zwanzig Minuten mit anderen Männern geflirtet habe. Besen ging mit dieser Geschichte an die Öffentlichkeit und veröffentlichte sie in seinem Buch Anything But Straight: Unmasking the Scandals and Lies Behind the Ex-Gay Myth, welches im Jahr 2003 zweimal für den Lambda Literary Award nominiert wurde.
