Love In Action changes face.

Love In Action today has removed the source for their statistics relating to STD's and HIV. The statistics remain, however, the source, a hate-fueled anti-gay website called The International Organization For Heterosexual Rights, simply has dissappeared in their footnotes.

Love In Action has also changed their official mission statement from:

a Christ-centered ministry for the prevention or treatment of unhealthy and destructive behaviors facing families, adults, and adolescents

to:

Christ-centered ministry for the prevention or remediation of unhealthy and destructive behaviors facing families, adults, and adolescents.

Also, in many places they have removed "drug and alcohol addiction" from the list of addictive behaviors they "minister" to, leaving only "promiscuity and homosexuality", however, on the official Refuge website they still claim to offer help for those with Drug and Alcohol addictions.

Here's the problem though...the fact is that the negative view of homosexuals held by Love In Action contributes to the very “brokenness, abandonment, and rejection” felt by the people they claim to offer treatment or counseling(uhm, "prevention or remediation") to. The heart of the matter is that we are concerned that such views endanger the well being of gay, and lesbian youth on a daily basis who may already face prejudice, and hatred, which often leads to emotional and physical abuse. This is what we must keep fighting for, so that more people don't have to get harmed, miseducated, and/or condemned to a life of unnecessary self-hatred, guilt and shame.
