The event is Saturday Sept 23rd and there&#8217;s a group of people from my website www.ExGayWatch.com who will be there protesting outside the host church from 7-9am which is when people arrive at the conference for check-in. Very few people who actually want to be &quot;cured&quot; attend, most tend to be parents who want to push their gay child into a conversion program. Signs I&#8217;m making up include:<\/p>\n<p>exgay therapy is child abuse (most people attending the conference are parents of gay kids)<\/p>\n<p>You are the parent of a gay christian<\/p>\n<p>love needs no cure<\/p>\n<p>caution junk science ahead<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t psychologically torture your child<\/p>\n<p>Exodus deceives by omission<\/p>\n<p>Focus: Stop antigay politics<\/p>\n<p>don&#8217;t oppress us because you can&#8217;t reconcile your faith and sexuality<\/p>\n<p>science and reality win out (the name of the exgay conferene is &quot;love won out&quot;)<\/p>\n<p>I reconciled my faith and sexuality<\/p>\n<p>\nIf you&#8217;re interested in joining us please email me at daniel@exgaywatch.com<\/p>\n<p>-Dan<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a friend&#8217;s MySpace bulletin.
