An anti-gay Illinois-based blog has set up what it calls a "Truth Academy" for children as young as 14, purportedly to "train young people (as well as older pro-family advocates) how to answer 'gay' activist misinformation and fight the homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda."
The "Truth Academy" is the work of anti-gay blog Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH), which is run by Pete LaBarbera. The event is slated to include speakers from an array of anti-gay and religious organizations, including the Illinois Family Institute, Coral Ministry, and Liberty University.
"AFTAH has a long history of telling lies about Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) people," a posting at the website for the Chicago Independent Media Center said. The posting noted that the Southern Poverty Law Center had recently identified AFTAH as a "hate group," and went on to express concern about young people being exposed to such influences.

I'd totally attend this if I was remotely in the viscinity!
I'd make and hand out posters with bible quotes where "hating" your "brother" is prohibited, and so on.
