Joshua Bassett feels a bit like Macarena Garcia in The call. The Disney actor, known for his role as Ricky in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, He became quite a practitioner of the Christian faith.

Olivia Rodrigo’s ex-partner (yes, we still haven’t recovered from Driving license) was baptized in late 2022 by Bethel Church in Redding, California. An entity known in the United States to practice something as horrible as LGTBI conversion therapy, as the medium Paper assures. Recall that in 2021 the actor admitted to belonging to the group.

Despite this, Joshua Bassett has made it clear on his social media that he condemns conversion therapy (though his Church rails against LGTBI rights). “For the last time. I condemn gay conversion therapy. Hatred and fear have no place. What drew me to Christ was his invitation to love,” wrote the artist last February on his Twitter account.
