Oct 06, 2007Quickie Link: Anti-Gay Quacks to Descend on Dallas
By vanrozenheim
(USA) - Hundreds of "therapists" who view homosexuality as a treatable disease are expected in Dallas-Fort Worth for the [US] National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality conference on Oct. 26-28. "There will be several hundred quacks," said Wayne Besen, founder of Truth Wins Out, an US organization devoted to exposing practitioners of ex-Gay therapy as charlatans. "The whole flock will fly down south from all over." In response, Truth Wins Out is organizing a protest at the Marriott Dallas-Fort Worth Airport North hotel, where the conference is scheduled to take place. A conference call between leaders of local LGBT groups and Besen was held on Thursday, Oct. 4, to arrange plans for the protest, which will be announced soon.
