CHANGED was birthed in response to California legislation that discriminated against Christians with an LGBTQ background.
Proponents of AB2943 claimed that no one overcomes same-sex sexuality or gender confusion, so Ken Williams and Elizabeth Woning decided to speak out. To bring awareness, they published dozens of stories like theirs in a book entitled “CHANGED: Oncegay Stories” to share with civic leaders in California. On June 12, 2018, nearly 30 others stood alongside Williams and Woning on the California Capitol steps in Sacramento to publicly share their stories of change.
Little did they know that men and women from across the world would resonate with them and unite to create a growing international network of people who left LGBTQ identity behind: the CHANGED movement.
