TruthWinsOut.org today announced its ambitious plans for 2008 – which include several protests, a three-region tour and a significant presence at several Gay Pride events. TWO is also placing a national call for volunteers to help us in the cities and regions we are visiting. We are also asking that local universities, community groups, advocacy organizations, business groups, social clubs and religious institutions inquire about having TWO Executive Director Wayne Besen give a presentation on the so-called “ex-gay” myth while he is in town.

“We are urging volunteers to get involved now to help us at these events and to further our important message,” said Wayne Besen, Executive Director, TruthWinsOut.org. “We look forward to educating people across America on the ex-gay industry and right wing extremism.”

TWO plans to have regional tours in the following areas:

California, April 1-13
Florida, June 2-10
Pacific Northwest, June 16-30

TWO plans to work with local organizations to hold protest rallies at the following venues in 2008:

Love Won Out, April 12, San Jose
Exodus Global Alliance, May 8-10, Toronto
Love Won Out, June 7, Orlando
Exodus National Conference, July 15, Ashville
Love Won Out, Sept. 13, Anchorage
NARTH Conference, Nov. 7-9, Denver

TWO plans to work with local organizations to have a presence at the following events:

Exodus West Coast Regional Conference, April 3-5, Fresno
Exodus Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference, April 4-6, Williamsburg, VA

“We urge our supporters to mark their calendars and help us carry out our mission,” said Besen. “If we will be in your area, consider booking us for an entertaining educational forum on the ex-gay myth.”

All dates are tentative and subject to change as the itinerary continues developing. This is TWO’s first national tour of America. TruthWinsOut.org is a non-profit organization that counters right wing propaganda, exposes the “ex-gay” myth and educates America about gay life. For more information, visit www.TruthWinsOut.org.

 

I highly recommend anybody who can offer assistance do so. Truth Wins Out is one of the premier organizations fighting against the psycho-spiritual terrorists who call themselves the “ex-gay” movement.

 

Exodus trying to bring 10,000 churches into “Ex-Gay” fold

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

I discovered via Pam’s House Blend that the psycho-spiritual terrorist group Exodus International is on a crusade to recruit 10,000 churches to their army.

Prominent ‘Ex-Gay’ organization Exodus International has set up an outreach network for people “struggling with same-sex attractions,” Family News in Focus reports.

…..

The plan includes a liaison in each participating branch. “The vision,” says Thomas, “is that there would be churches that people struggling with same-sex attraction could go to where they could learn how to be Disciples of Christ.”

“Struggling” with same-sex attractions, eh? Funny how nobody is ever described as “struggling” with opposite-sex attractions. But then maybe that’s because straight people don’t experience a full-frontal assault on their right to be with who they love, to have equal protections under the law, to be considered Christian (for those who believe) and even on their very value as human beings.

According to Pam:

They’re off to a chugging start as Exodus has managed to sign on a mere 70 churches to build its 10,000-institution pray-away-the-gay network.

70 down, 9,930 to go. While I fervently hope there aren’t that many hate-filled churches in America, I’ve been let down many times before. The hate and lies of the RRRW have oft proven stronger than the truth and love of the left. But ultimately only time will tell.
