This might cost the parents $200 but it might cost the kids their lives...

"On Thursday, Metro City Church in Riverview is set to start a six-week course pegged as the "Unashamed Identity Workshop." Targeting biological girls ages 12-16 who "think they may be gay, bisexual, or transgender," the church explained on its website that the $200 course would "help your girl be unashamed of her true sexual identity given to her by God at birth."

The phrasing and intentions of the course — using "thoughtful, relevant and biblical counsel" to help girls be "unashamed" with their "true sexual identity" — has raised red flags for locals, who draw parallels between the church's programming and so-called conversion therapy, which promises to change a minor's sexual orientation or gender identity via prayer."

There is at least a possibility that the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) might step in on behalf of the girls being targeted.

If someone contacts them (www.aclu.org) and lets them know what is going on, they might set in motion the legal gears necessary to stop this (on either a state, or a national, level).

In my opinion, this program is child abuse...and if I were from that part of the country, I would try to do whatever I could to end this program (and, perhaps, create some local legal decisions which would be of benefit to other jurisdictions).

I e-mailed them the link above.
I got a reply -- they're already aware and involved :)

That is great! Thanks for doing that.

These churches are shameful.

ALL churches are shameful !

Thank you, Hie!!!

:)

I'd like to see a church do the opposite and promote a 12-step program to teach gays how to recruit all those funky sexy straight guys.

Because fundie chrissies (and only christians, I have to give muzzies credit for not spreading THIS nonsense) constantly accuse gay men of trying to recruit, indoctrinate and brainwash clean, decent straight young men into their "lifestyle", right? So let's have someone teach us how to actually do this. I'd like to convert the whole of Westpoint. I want a bunch of butch slaves.

The percentage of female cadets at West Point is rising...this year it is twenty-two percent.

Are you sure you actually do want what you are saying here that you want??
