If you read nothing else today...

You MUST read this!

A covert operation and infiltration of the "Love Won Out" was accomplished by Jim Burroway of the Box Turtle Bulletin.

It is a must read for anyone who wants an honest opinion of the "Love Won Out" ex-gay conferences that take place annually.

An excerpt:

"We advise fathers, if you don’t hug your sons, some other man will."

With that, a very painful groan rose from the audience. This was probably the second-most effective line delivered that day (I’ll get to the most effective one in just a little bit). I looked around and saw heads shaking, couples looking at each other, and a general sense of horror filled the room. My cheeks flushed as I wondered how many of those groans came from fathers and mothers themselves who made up a sizeable chunk of the audience.


Jim has a 2 part series up regarding his honest and truthful feelings regarding the "Love Won Out" conference. I was surprised by some of his conclusions and actually feel my heart go out to those participants who are in such turmoil and pain over the issue of a family members homosexuality.

Jim's essays are inspiring, emotional and horrifying all at the same time. So if you read nothing else you must hop over to Box Turtle Bulletin and read the essays on "Love Won Out".
