"Ex-Gay" group cancels event due to lack of interest...

Every so often I read an article that gives me a good laugh, and this is one of them.
I mean, canceling a big event due to hardly anyone showing up?

I'm reminded of that one picture showing a "pro-war" rally, and it looked like maybe half a dozen people were there.


One of the most prominent ex-gay organizations in the country, Exodus International, has been experiencing an exodus of a different sort, one it surely isn’t pleased to see. The group canceled its next Love Won Out (LWO) conference, which was scheduled for May 19 at Legacy Church in Albuquerque, N.M.

Ex-Gay Watch, a website that monitors ex-gay organizations, posted an E-mail from the senior director of events at Exodus to registrants in which he said that because of the low number of registrations, the group couldn’t justify the expense of bringing the conference to Albuquerque.

For some of these people, it's probably the only chance at going on the down low they'll have all year.
