TruthWinsOut.org today announced its ambitious plans for 2008 - which include several protests, a three-region tour and a significant presence at several Gay Pride events. TWO is also placing a national call for volunteers to help us in the cities and regions we are visiting. We are also asking that local universities, community groups, advocacy organizations, business groups, social clubs and religious institutions inquire about having TWO Executive Director Wayne Besen give a presentation on the so-called "ex-gay" myth while he is in town.
"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."
TWO plans to have regional tours in the following areas:
California, April 1-13 Florida, June 2-10 Pacific Northwest, June 16-30

"We urge our supporters to mark their calendars and help us carry out our mission," said Besen. "If we will be in your area, consider booking us for an entertaining educational forum on the ex-gay myth."
All dates are tentative and subject to change as the itinerary continues developing. This is TWO's first national tour of America. TruthWinsOut.org is a non-profit organization that counters right wing propaganda, exposes the "ex-gay" myth and educates America about gay life. For more information, visit www.TruthWinsOut.org.

This is a powerful itinerary for the next year, Wayne. It's really reassuring to know that you'll be at those poisinous "ex-gay" conferences to offer the actual truth to people who so desperately need it. Truly "the Lord's work" if you ask me. I know that many will join you in this important work.
