Egypt, in the Bible, represents slavery and oppression until Moses led his people in a mass Exodus out of Egypt. Before reaching the Promised Land, they wandered in the Sinai desert for forty years, probably because Moses was lost but refused to stop and ask for directions.
This is the metaphor that the Ex-Gay movement has used since its inception under the guise of groups like Exodus International. In their philosophy, gay men and women are in bondage, suffering from "unwanted" sexual attraction, and they are the modern Moses, here to set the LBGT community free.
My Egypt is the story of one man who spent decades inside this movement, only to realize that the Exodus movement is really "Slavery" in disguise.
In his struggle to be "free from homosexuality," Benjamin David discovered that "freedom" comes from being who you are. When he finally came out (or was thrown out by the police), Benjamin was finally forced out of Egypt; and would spend the next decade wandering through the wilderness, searching for the Promised Land.
My Egypt is the story of one man's struggle with God, his sexuality, the Ex-Gay movement, and evolution. The journey out of Egypt and into freedom was a thorny one that would lead him into the dark side of God.
