Love Won Out - "Same-Sex Families In Schools"

In this series of videos gay activist Jim Burroway talks about attending Focus on the Family and Exodus International's "Love Won Out" conference which promotes "gay curing" or "ex-gay" ministries.

Love Won Out isn't just about selling the idea to parents that their children can change, there's a political element as well Jim Burroway discovered. Here Jim describes a "fear inducing" speech by Dick Carpenter on how homosexuality is handled in public schools. Carpenter takes relatively benign videos promoting tolerance for children of gay couples and presents it as propaganda. Carpenter presents the material but never explains what the implications of the videos clips are supposed to be. Those in attendance, including Jim, are left to wonder.

Honestly the negative part of gay parenting is what children will go through from homophobics.

"I can't tell you the number of times someone shared a similar story with their own child"

Hmm, something doesn't add up here. This pastor means to say that lesbian or gay parents come to him to try to have their children converted? And then they lament that their homosexuality was passed on to their children? I can smell a liar, and every credible study on the same issue can too.

"I respect that that's the way they think, and I can't do anything about it. I still think that those people think stupidly."

Aside from the proper use of an adverb (FTW!!), I just love this statement in every respect, and think that little girl is adorable.
