Metro Church of God in Birmingham, Ala., will host the Love Won Out Conference on Nov. 7.
It's the last Love Won Out event for Focus on the Family, which will turn the conference over to Exodus International in December.
Gay activists are planning to protest. Wayne Besen, founder of Truth Wins Out, claimed the sessions teach parents to "hate" their children.
"Love Won Out tells young people and their families that they aren't whole and that they should and can change – which isn't true," he said.
But Joe Dallas, pastoral counselor, founder of Genesis Counseling in Orange County, Calif., and a regular speaker at Love Won Out, said no attendee has ever been taught to hate or coerce their child.
"Just the opposite," he said. "We teach parents how important it is to love and care for their sons or daughters, no matter what choices they make."
