One of the saddest things ever.

This is absolutely horrendous.

Close to 1,000 people are planning to attend a controversial conference this weekend in Atlanta. Organizers for the event are promising they can turn homosexuals straight.

“I spent thousands of hours on my knees, praying for the Lord to make me straight,” said Daniel Gonzales. “And he never did.”

Gonzales was so desperate not to be gay, he tried the kind of therapy taught at this weekend’s Love Won Out conference, held at the First Baptist Church of Woodstock.

The billboard on the Downtown Connector says that it is possible to become straight with God’s help. Will Blankenship of First Baptist says it worked for him.

“My compassion is for people,” he said. “And I simply want to say that God didn’t make us that way.”
