Heres some info on a protest I am involved in in St. louis. Focus on the Family has been putting up billboards in St. louis about their conversion therapy. They are hosting a "love won out" conference here in St. louis to preach their bigotry. You can see more about the conference at lovewonout.org. Below is the information about our protest. Please consider joining us if you are in the area!
LOVE NEEDS NO CURE!! Action
TO: All fair-minded people
On February 25, 2006, Focus on the Family is holding their “Love Won Out” conference in St. Louis. This group claims that people can be “cured” of homosexuality. Sadly, this conference will attract persons who may be just coming to terms with their sexual identity or even more distressing, parents who are determined to “save” their children from what they see as the “affliction” of homosexuality. A group of people from diverse faiths, political groups, psychological and medical professions, and other social action groups are organizing to be present in the vicinity of this conference. We will hold a respectful, joyous, and life, love-affirming demonstration.
We want YOU to be there!!
You have two opportunities to take a stand for Dignity and Equality
