The "Day of Truth" scheduled to occur on Monday in response to last Friday's Day of Silence fell on deaf ears. Things were pin-drop silent, even on the pro-family and conservative webs, compared to Friday's event which was recognized at thousands of schools across the nation and got plenty of press coverage. Fundamentalist (fundie) Christian legal org The Alliance Defense Fund tired out this Day of Truth concept in order to "counter the promotion of the homosexual agenda" and speak the "truth" about heterosexual conversion. This was meant in response to the GLSEN(Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network)-sponsored Day of Silence, meant to combat bullying in schools, and this year honored the memory of Lawrence King.
It's just too damn bad that essentially no one got to learn about the ADF's purported "52% success rate" in treating "unwanted homosexual attraction." We always thought the way to do that was to say, "Sorry, I have a boyfriend."
