Excuse me, they’re calling it the “Americans For Truth Academy.” Kids and young adults ages 14-25 can go for only $99 and learn how to be stark-raving mad homophobes from these experts:
Tentative List of Instructors:
Robert Knight, Coral Ridge Ministries
Peter LaBarbera, Americans For Truth About Homosexuality
Ryan Sorba, Young Conservatives of California
Prof. Robert Gagnon, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary
Prof. Rena Lindevaldsen, Liberty University Law School
Matt Barber, Liberty Counsel
Laurie Higgins, Illinois Family Institute
Greg Quinlan, Parents and Friends of Gays and Ex-Gays
Cool deal. Here’s the funny part:
Prospective attendees will need to be approved with references; this is not open to pro-homosexual activists but only to those who share AFTAH’ belief that homosexuality is immoral and that the GLBT movement is destructive to America and a direct threat to our religious freedom.
“Please write a double-spaced essay about how a-feared you are of gays, and get it signed by somebody we already know is a total bigot, because we’ve been burned recently by having people report our words verbatim when we think nobody else is listening.”
Also, this event is being billed as “rigorous,” which I can only assume means that Matt Barber, Ryan Sorba, Feats of Strength, and sweat will be featured prominently.
Fun for the whole family, sounds like.
It’s a veritable who’s who of anti-gay haters.
Somehow I’m thinking the lavishly-appointed AFTAH headquarters ain’t all that. I’ll go out on a limb here; I’m betting it’s actually going to be staged at a hotel or other rent-a-space and that enough calls, emails and letters about this event being staged by an SPLC-certified hate site could queer that deal in nothing flat.
Ears to the ground, cupcakes.
They should have it at that pavilion in New Jersey they’re always bitching about.
I wouldn’t let a 14 year old anywhere near that bunch. And Ryan Sorba? That’s scraping the bottom of the barrel even for LaBarbera.
You couldn’t find a sicker bunch of dysfunctional lunatics if you raided the funny farm. Unbelievable.
99 bucks to witness the flop sweat of Bam Bam and Ryan Sorba…what a deal!
Just pay attention to see if Sorba and Bam Bam sneak off to a different Days Inn after the conference is over.

Evan, the idea of Sorba and Bam Bam in a hotel room together is not an image I want in my head-unless it’s a suicide pact.
It’s breathtaking to imagine the kind of parent that would send their 14 year old kid to Gay Bashing Academy. I suppose there will be special classes for the youngsters to help them polish their bullying techniques for when they go back to school in the fall. Seriously, I could imagine a parent sending their kid because they fear he may be gay, and that Gay Bashing Academy would scare the gay out of him. Sick.

Considering that they are offering special incentives to beef-up the attendance by young people (ages 14-25), I wonder which one (or more) of the “professors” is looking forward to some slow-learning twinks that may need some private tutoring. And surely some of the older out-of-town attendees may need a twink to lift their luggage.

I think the authorities in IL should be alerted. I know what kind of “truth” Porno Pete shows to people and I’m guessing a youth training camp isn’t the place he should show it.
Showing porn to minors is pretty illegal and it seems like Pete is soliciting minors to show porn to.

These people always accuse LGBT folks of trying to recruit young people and indoctrinate them, and here they are, BLATANTLY doing just that.
f*****g hypocrites.

How long has the idea of this “academy” (forsooth) been germinating in what he’ pleased to call his mind, I ask myself. Given that the list of “instructors” is a “tentative” one, I can’t help wondering whether the initial draft included George Rekers and whether the list is being kept “tentative” in order that it may be swiftly revised in the event of any further analogous contretemps.
“Kids and young adults ages 14-25 can go”.
If young adults start at age 14, what’s the minimum age for these kids they’re going to allow? No doubt they’re going to discuss anal sex and the like, what happened to their “concern” about sexualizing children and destroying their innocence?
$99 to indoctrinate one’s kids? And I thought that “God’s gift of salvation is free.”
Didn’t Janet Folger-Porter have to eat several thousand dollars because she could only attract a couple hundred people to her “May Day” event (even though she claimed at least 8,000 would attend)? And now she’s begging for donations to make up for the costs?
If that’s the case, I hope Porno Pete doesn’t get too excited. Why pay $100-200 to listen to him verbally jacking off about teh homosex, when you can read it daily from his website for free?
