Peter LaBarbera, who heads Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, gave a presentation last week at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio on the topic of "What 'Gay' Activists Don't Want You to Know" (yes, he had the word 'Gay' in quotes). Not long into his speech, people began leaving, until he was left with a nearly empty room.
This was at a community college where the audience was, by and large, young adults. Consider the current trend where so many young adults have adandoned the church (but haven't necessarily given up on Jesus) that they have been collectively given the demographic moniker of "the nones." Perhaps conservative Christians have been so focused on fighting "sin" (as they define it) and winning culture battles that they don't realize the extent to which they have lost the war by alienating the next generation.
