CampOUT will be held this month at an Oceanside retreat near Lincoln City P o r t l a n d A n o t h e r P A la ys H o s t n t i -G a y C t o o n fa b ust weeks after the “ex-gay” Love Won Out conference came to town, the Promise Keepers will spread their anti-gay message to thousands of men Aug. 1 and 2 at the Rose Garden. “The Challenge: A Call to Action" will feature music, comedy and a lineup of speakers including Focus on the Family radio host Joe White. “Promise Keepers shares the same historic stance taken by Evangelicals and Catholics: that sex is a good gift from God to be enjoyed in the context of marriage between one man and one woman,” vice president Paul Edwards said in 1997 “We believe that the Bible clearly teaches that the practice of homosexuality violates G od’s creative design for a husband and a wife and that it is a sin .... Moreover, the Bible states that any form of immoral behavior, sodomy, for nication or adultery is an abomination to God. Therefore, Promise Keepers does not compro mise its message to accommodate prevailing cul tural norms." The movement was co-founded in 1990 by then University of Colorado football coach Bill McCartney, who campaigned for 1992’s anti gay Proposition 2. He said queers are "a group of people who don’t reproduce, yet want to be compared to people who do reproduce, and that lifestyle doesn’t entitle anyone to special rights.” j n J Compiled by JlM R a d OSTA and T im o t h y KRAUSE A member of the community that you can trust .
