Mr. Cohen has been married for 22 years and has three children.
“I help people who want to change their sexuality,” he said. “Change is possible, and my three kids prove it. So does my happy wife.”
Melissa Coffey, a ministry associate at Regeneration Ministries, a Christian ministry that provides support to men and women “struggling with homosexuality,” said the billboard’s message is meant to provide hope.
