A posting from Peter LaBarbera, the president of the anti-gay group Americans for Truth About Homosexuality says that the sample letter and the list of "ex-gay" titles comes from P-FOX, Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays, which is an anti-gay counter-organization to P-FLAG.
LaBarbera’s posting announced that his organization and P-FOX would work together with what LaBarbera termed "other pro-family groups and ministries" in order, LaBarbera wrote, "to attain--at the very minimum--balance in the selections that libraries carry on the homosexual issue."
Added LaBarbera, "There is no logical or common sense reason why taxpayer-funded public libraries should make available every latest ’gay’-affirming book--including those designed to open up young minds to the false and dangerous notion that homosexuality is normal--while NOT carrying faith-based and ex-’gay’ books that oppose a pro-homosexual ideology."
