Hate wins out: more dangerous idiocy from Focus on the Family

It's scary to think that Bush and his buddies are revered by the Focus on the Family crowd... really scary.

Here's the latest, as reported by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force:

A new report released today by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Policy Institute titled, A Report from "Love Won Out: Addressing, Understanding, and Preventing Homosexuality," provides a first-hand account of an anti-gay conference that took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota in September 2004. The report's authors, Jyl J. Josephson, an Associate Professor at Rutgers University-Newark, and Cynthia Burack, an Associate Professor at Ohio State University, detail the theories and world views espoused by the presenters and "ex-gay" leaders who spoke at the conference, one of at least four such conferences sponsored annually by Focus on the Family around the country.

According to the report (PDF), the "ex-gay movement" started in the early 1970s, but the recent "Love Won Out" movement started in the late 1990s.

The Love Won Out (caution, barf-inducing) website has details about some of their "ex-gays" and their resident psychologists.

The report mentions the following:

Speakers frequently compared gay rights activists to Nazis, warning that the success of the gay rights movement would lead to Nazism or totalitarianism.

Huh? What planet do these idiots live on?

Here's a hint: you can search by keyword on the Free Republic, and one of their keywords is "Homosexual Agenda".

The next "Love Won Out" conference is in Seattle on June 25, 2005. Please give them a very warm welcome. If I'm in town, I'll help."

Bible Gangsters coming to stink up my state. At least they could have had it in Wanatchee, home of our local Taliban.

this would give us Washington State DU'ers a reason to gather together wouldn't it?

...people in the streets let them know how outrageous their shit is.
...and as i recall, some of the local media found people who had tried it, some who had actually considered themselves "converted" back to heterosexuality and ultimately concluded that the whole thing was a sham and went back to trying to be comfortable with who they really are.

I'll bet you could find people like that in the Seattle area and demand that the media there give them some time, too.

Focus on the family, indeed. these people are out to twist the whole friggin' country to their narrow hateful outlook.
