Gay and lesbian activists say they plan to protest the “Love Won Out” conference scheduled to be held at Midway Church in Villa Rica later this month. The organization at the center of their ire is Exodus International, a 35 year old group, which according to it’s website is a “ministry committed to encouraging, educating and equipping the body of Christ to address the issue of homosexuality with grace and truth.”
Some in the lesbian and gay community say they take offense to what they believe is Exodus’ message; believing that the conference message is that one can ‘pray the gay away.’ The LGBT organizers also challenge the assertion that there are people who have changed orientation.
