From the link:

"Jayne Ozanne is a well-known gay evangelical who works to ensure full inclusion of all LGBTI people of faith, particularly in the Church.

She was appointed by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to be a founding member of the Archbishops’ Council for the Church of England (1999 – 2004).
In 2009, after years of personal struggle as an evangelical Christian trying to reconcile her faith with her sexuality, she came out as gay to her friends and family.
Her story is documented in her memoir, Just Love.
In 2014 she decided to become more publicly engaged with the sexuality debate within the Church and in 2015 she was elected back onto the Church of England’s General Synod.
She has since been heavily involved in campaigning for equal rights for the LGBTI community, notably tabling a Private Members Motion in July 2017 that led to the General Synod condemning Conversion Therapy and calling on the government to ban it.
In 2019 she was invited to be a founding member of the government’s LGBT Advisory Panel."

Is there another Jayne Ozanne?

I have read her book, which is interesting, particularly as an example of a life guided by faith. However, despite her public comments about (and against) conversion therapy, she does not describe any efforts by anyone to “convert” her. On the contrary, her friends and family seem to have been supportive (and not surprised) when she acknowledged to herself and then to them that she was lesbian. (I am not critical, just adding more background.)

Is the confusion with Jane Fae (Ozimek)?

Exactly. Somebody asked me that earlier and I thought it was an understandable conflation of the names so I posted to clarify but got slightly tangled as to handle the name history.
