The story goes: “Focus on the Family will shed its controversial Love Won Out program for transforming homosexuals into heterosexuals because of budget troubles, the conservative media ministry said Tuesday.


The Colorado Springs-based ministry made the announcement in The Washington Blade, the country’s oldest gay and lesbian newspaper.


The Love Won Out conferences on “leaving homosexuality” will be handed over in November to a longtime ministry partner, Orlando, Fla.-based Exodus International.


“The economic challenges led us to this strategic decision,” Focus vice president Gary Schneeberger said Wednesday. “Love Won Out is not an inexpensive event to stage, and rarely, in over 50 cities where it’s been held, have we ever made back our investment, despite good attendance.”


Focus on the Family, which held its first Love Won Out conference in 1998, will lead its last on Nov. 7 in Birmingham, Ala. A $6 million shortfall in the $138 million budget also caused Focus president Jim Daly to send out a fundraising letter to 800,000 donors.”


SIGN OF THE TIMES MAYBE…?

i recall listening to many focus on the family broadcasts on the radio


before i ever even allowed myself to consider my sexuality and be honest with myself i remember them being very very harsh on homosexuality.


It always disturbed me . .. i remember them slamming disney movies, stating that there was always a character in their kids movies that was gay and how disgusted they were with disney.

Reorienation/ex-gay therapy is an increasingly irrelevant message as more people become educated about sexual orientation and realise that it is hard wired…..created through biological factors of genetics and hormones.


More and more gay christians are coming out…….so now at last people can actually see in the lives that sexuality and faith are not conflicting. Morality and sexual orientation are two different things. One is a choice…the other isn’t.

GOOD. No one should be making money based on lies and deception, especially an organization which is built on those two principles.


Sorry, but they have ruined too many lives to call themselves a ‘Godly organization’ or whatever line they use.


Now, to make the whole organization as bankrupt financially as it is morally…

There is no evidence to say that it is due to biological factors.
