Thoughts on LWO

Saturday, February 25th, 2006

Today’s vigil (or protest, depending upon what you’d like to call it) was surprisingly well organized and, thankfully, positive in tone.
At this point, I don’t have a final count of attendees.  The plan was to have a presence in the morning during registration and the afternoon, when the conference concluded.  I would estimate around 400 [...]

Saturday, February 11th, 2006

In two weeks, St. Louis will be hosting “Love Won Out“, a conference defending the view that “homosexuality is preventable and treatable.” They won’t be offering vaccinations on-site, but I think you may be able to get a prescription for one.
