Two more leaders (Jeremy Marks and Darlene Bogle) also came out as gay. All four issued public apologies. Michael Busses is on record stating he'd never seen Exodus actually change any participant into a hetrosexual.

I make no judgement call here.

In fairness, to men who were having an adulterous affair in the time leading up to their departure, would not look favorable on any organization that condemned their behavior. I mean, looking at this objectively here. Did they leave because they didn't feel it worked, or left because they slipped back into their old lifestyle? That's the danger of having anyone work together for any period of time that share similar struggles.
