TWO plans to work with local organizations to hold protest rallies at the following venues in 2009. TWO is also placing a national call for volunteers to help us in the cities and regions we are visiting.
“We are urging volunteers to get involved now to help us at these events and to further our important message,” said Wayne Besen, Executive Director, TruthWinsOut.org. “We look forward to educating people across America on the ex-gay industry and right wing extremism.”

Truth Wins Out meets ex-gay conferences and symposiums on the ground where they are actively preaching disinformation. Across America, TWO joins its local partners and allies to hold media events and protest actions to counter the destructive messages the ex-gay ministries put forth. We work to ensure that the media and public are aware of the facts, prevailing psychological opinion and that they can hear the powerful stories of people who have been harmed by ex-gay groups.
In 2007, Truth Wins Out has monitored or protested ex-gay conferences in Fort Lauderdale, Anchorage, Chicago, San Jose, Asheville, Charlotte, Atlanta, Macon, Orlando, Hickory (NC), New Orleans, Dallas and Phoenix.
