		<description><![CDATA[As the Director of “Day of Truth 2010”, I am disappointed with the inaccurate perspective of Kirsten Power’s article. Voicing disapproval of homosexuality was not the focus of this event but rather exercising the right to present an alternative message and educating individuals about their choices. For these students to be able to voice their religious beliefs unhindered and without prejudice is the essence of our democracy and Constitution. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After 4 years of supporting the Day of Truth initiative and 1 year of spearheading the effort, Exodus International is returning the event to the Alliance Defense Fund.  ADF will likely find another group to run the event or end it altogether.  Created in 2005 by the Alliance Defense Fund as a response to the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network's (GLSEN) annual Day of Silence, Day of Truth was an effort aimed at encouraging conservatively-minded teenagers to respectfully engage fellow students in conversations about homosexuality.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a time to debate homosexual behavior as a positive or negative on individuals and society but (in my opinion) that time isn't during the process of trying to stop bullies or while doing a suicide intervention.  Militant gay activists can accuse us of whatever they want but I think their unfair mischaracterizations are clearly seen as opportunistic manipulation.  Most people, a vast majority from my experience, are reasonable even while passionate about certain issues.  All reasonable perspectives should be listened too.  Answers can be found in a commitment to civility, a deferential listening ear and humanizing instead of stigmatizing.]]></description>

After attending the event, one man wrote, “I came to the conference ready to give up, walk out of my marriage and pursue a gay lifestyle. The conference gave me hope and impetus to stay and keep the faith.”]]></description>
