Here is the story about the camp :
http://www.mikeditto.com/archives/kudos_to_queer_action_coalitionA Tennessee-based religious organization euphemistically called “Love in Action” is running a brainwashing camp for gay kids.
"“shaming sessions”, where the clients have to, once a day, describe in emotional detail “sinful activities” they’d partaken in…these sessions were then extended to having to describe these things in front of 50 or 60 people on “friends and family” nights, where the family was encouraged to shame them, not be supportive."
