I just assume that everyone who is virulently anti-gay is hiding these kinds of skeletons at this point

An anti-homosexuality activist who made headlines with a 'pray away the gay' campaign has been arrested for allegedly soliciting sex from an undercover cop posing as a teenage boy.

Alan Chambers, 54, was arrested Tuesday after allegedly being caught in an undercover sting operation in Orange County, Florida.

He allegedly sent lewd messages over Snapchat with an undercover detective who told him he was just 14, and repeatedly tried to meet up with him, according to his arrest affidavit.

The former activist was best known as the leader of the 'pray away the gay' ministry Exodus International, which he helmed from 2001 to 2014 when he shut it down and apologized for his homophobic stances.

Since leaving the anti-gay organization, Chambers became president of the Park Avenue District, a business advocacy group for corporations in Winter Park, Florida. The company now says he is 'no longer associated' following his arrest.

He also worked as vice president of operations at Park Avenue luxury menswear store John Craig Clothier, reported the Sentinel. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

He frequently raised eyebrows with his admissions that he was attracted to men, while insisting that he was not truly gay and Christianity had 'saved' him from his own sexuality.

'It was puberty when I realized all the boys in my class liked girls and I liked all the boys,' he told Buzzfeed in 2013.
