| |  | | | About Americans for Truth About Homosexuality and AFTAH Founder Peter LaBarbera » Americans for Truth | Americans for Truth, a national organization devoted exclusively to exposing and countering the homosexual activist agenda.
Peter LaBarbera, 54, is president of Americans For Truth about Homosexuality (AFTAH), a non-partisan, non-profit group dedicated to exposing the homosexual-bisexual-transgender activist agendas. Founded as a part-time venture in 1996 but reorganized in August 2006, AFTAH seeks to apply the same single-minded determination to opposing the radical homosexual agenda and standing for God-ordained sexuality and the natural family as countless homosexual groups do in promoting their harmful agenda.
AFTAH is a rare single-issue national group on the other side of this critical “culture war” issue. Meanwhile, there are over a dozen national American “gay” groups with annual budgets ranging from just under $1 million to over $30 million working to advance this agenda — which threatens to criminalize Christian opposition to behavior that most Americans believe is wrong.

The Rebirth of Venus Charlene Cothran, editor of a magazine for African-American gays and lesbians, on how she renounced homosexuality and came to Christ.Interview by Amy Tracy| March 23, 2007Charlene Cothran, publisher and editor-in-chief of Venus Magazine, a national publication for African-American gays and lesbians she launched 13 years ago, made a startling announcement: After 29 years as a gay activist, she's become a Christian, renounced her homosexuality, and changed the format of her magazine to spread the gospel to the gay community. Amy Tracy, whose own similar conversion story was told in an earlier Christianity Today article, interviewed Cothran about her new direction.
You were raised in the church. At what point did you walk away from your faith?
I was raised in a family of believers and accepted Jesus into my heart at age 11. I walked away from the Lord at age 15. I became very promiscuous with boys. I went off to college at Georgia Tech and did not practice my faith at all.
The revolving door kind of thing with boys disturbed my soul. I thought if this is what boys were all about, I didn't want anything to do with them. So at the age of 19, I decided that I was only going to date women. They were kind and gentle with me. They wanted to explore my personality. I had never felt this before. My relationships with women felt safe and wonderful.
When did you first feel the winds of change stirring in your heart?
I always knew that homosexuality was wrong. The seed of truth was planted long ago. But the sin in my life squashed it. I'd go to church if it was Christmas, but I never allowed myself to get to the point where I felt conviction. I hardened my heart over and over against the Word.
As you get older, life begins to unfold in a real way. Loved ones die, and you end up dealing with your own mortality. I first felt something change during Black Gay Pride in Chicago in 2001. It was a beautiful day, and I could see men with men and women with women as far as the eye could see. But instead of feeling pride, I looked out and felt sadness. These were individuals that grew up in the church, but now they were worshipping idols. And I was part of leading them down the wide road of destruction.
It took me several years to come to terms with this vision. Mostly, I kept thinking that I was damaged goods, that my leadership skills were damaged goods. That God couldn't save me. Those lies kept me down.
What finally led to your conversion?
I also publish a publication called the Kitchen Table News. In June 2006, I was getting set to run an article on a local gospel group. A pastor in the group called to add something to the piece. She asked me a question, and from my response she knew I wasn't "unchurched." But I felt like pushing it. I told her I was a proud, card-carrying lesbian. She let me go on and on. Then she said, "I can tell that you want to come back to God, but you feel unworthy. That is a lie. Many souls will be saved by your saying yes to Jesus." I could not speak for several moments. She continued to minister to me. She didn't back down. I lived in silence for 48 hours. The Lord was dealing with me in my soul. I told him that I'd give back everything He gave me.
How did your family react?
My sister and mother prayed for me for years. It was a wonderful reunion with my family. My mother had prayed for God to deliver me. She knew the devil had his hold. She always knew that somehow I'd make it back. My mother was stubborn that way. She died before she could see me come back. I regret so much. She expected much from me, but I became a lesbian and an "out lesbian" at that. Now when I hear from parents of gay children, I use my voice to apologize … to apologize for their sons and daughters.

| |  | | | Hebraic Roots Network | Hebraic Roots Network, founded in August 2011, is a consortium of like-minded ministries dedicated to bringing solid Biblical teaching to the world. We present the Scriptures from a Hebrew perspective allowing the viewer to gain deeper understanding through applied context.
The teachers on HRN are time-tested people of good character, who have given their lives to bring forth a clearer understanding of the Word to people across the globe.<br>
At this hour it is critical that the Hebraic Roots teachers stand together demonstrating unity, not uniformity, to the millions of Believers awakening to their lost heritage. Our desire is to lead by example. We pray that Hebraic Roots Network will not only be utilized for the outstanding programming, but also to bring unity and continuity to the Body of Messiah.
Please understand that each presenter presents from their own unique perspective. Their Biblical point of view is just that – their point of view. While we strive to present a unified vision and message, at times there may be a teaching that stretches those parameters. At those moments, we ask that you consider the entirety of our work, and grant us the grace that is associated with a Believer in Yeshua.
Over time, our team of teachers will grow. We leave the door open for those stable and able teachers who have good fruit on their tree, a humble attitude, and a team perspective. Our programming will also increase in scope and depth. By allowing the Messiah to lead, we will ensure a bright future for Hebraic Roots Network. His Torah is truly a lamp to our feet and a light unto our path. As we grow, our desire is to lift up Yeshua’s Name above all others, proclaiming the eternal nature of His Word through the Hebraic lens of His Life. [More] | | |
