BY LifeSiteNews.com SEATTLE, June 2, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Focus on the Family will bring its international Love Won Out conference to Seattle on June 25, amidst the gay-pride activities planned for that weekend throughout the city. Northshore Baptist Church will host the one-day event, designed to educate and equip attendees on the issues surrounding homosexuality and provide help for those struggling—and those whose loved ones struggle—with unwanted same-sex attractions.“As the homosexual life is celebrated in ‘gay-pride’ events throughout Seattle, we will be there to offer a different message - one of hope and healing for those who don’t share that sense of pride,” said Mike Haley, Love Won Out host and a former homosexual. “Thousands of men and women know firsthand that there is a way out of unwanted homosexuality. I am living proof that change can happen.”“Although the issues of homosexuality and same-sex marriage are becoming increasingly politicized in our culture, Love Won Out’s message continues to focus on the hope and love that is found in Jesus Christ,” said Melissa Fryrear, a conference speaker and former lesbian. “We are here to offer a perspective that is rarely heard anywhere else: There is a way out of the homosexual life for those who wish to take it.”In a brand-new addition to the Love Won Out lineup, the Seattle conference will feature Nancy Heche, offering insight to the parents and spouses of those involved in homosexuality. Heche is the mother of Anne Heche, the former lesbian partner of Ellen DeGeneres; she also lost her husband to a long battle with AIDS after he secretly lived a homosexual life during their marriage. To address the topic of same-sex marriage and parenting, Focus on the Family Vice President and Psychologist-in-Residence Dr. Bill Maier will present “Straight Thinking on Gay Marriage.”Since its inception in 1998, Focus on the Family’s Love Won Out has shared its message with more than 25,000 people in 32 cities internationally - Seattle will mark the 34th presentation.For more information visit: http://www.lovewonout.comjhw http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/focus-on-the-family-goes-head-to-head-with-gay-pride-in-seattle-with-anne-h/
