From OC Weekly:
From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., a lineup of speakers‚Äîand one bona-fide comedian‚Äîtestified to the idea that sexuality is immutable while blasting Exodus International, the “ex-gay” ministry that would bring its yearly Freedom Conference to Irvine’ Concordia University from June 23 to 26. Organized by local and statewide gay-rights groups such as Equality California, Courage Campaign and the Orange County Equality Coalition, the LGBT affirmation conference cut a sharp contrast with the event it was meant to critique, right down to slogans: One was labeled “It’ Not a Choice,” while Exodus’ website has the tagline “Freedom is possible!”
