Although the pro-homosexual group Truth Wins Out has angrily accused a woman whose organization offers support to family and friends of homosexuals of fabricating a report that a "gay" assaulted a volunteer at a county fair booth-police confirm for WND that the incident did indeed occur.A statement issued on PRNewswire and posted on the group's website called on Regina Griggs, of Parents and Friends of ExGays, to resign for her "fabrication.""Truth Wins Out called on PFOX Executive Director Regina Griggs to resign today for faking a hate crime incident at a (sic) the Arlington County Fair in Virginia," the statement said."Regina Griggs has lost all credibility and must resign in shame for her dishonest behavior," wrote Wayne Besen, executive director of Truth Wins Out. "What PFOX did was warped, twisted and an insult (sic) real hate crime victims."Police, however, have confirmed to WND that the incident did happen as Griggs reported. She had described a confrontation between an individual who got upset over the PFOX message and a volunteer at the fair booth."One officer told me today he was on patrol at the Fair when a woman approached him and told him a man had knocked over pamphlets at the PFOX booth and assaulted another man there. The officer then spoke to the alleged victim. He did not want to press charges and therefore no written report was filed," said a statement issued by John Lisle, media relations officer for the Arlington County police department."Based on the description the officer was given, he located the suspect at the Fair. Another officer escorted that gentleman off the Fair grounds," his statement continued.The issue arose because Griggs wrote about it in a message to constituents."As happens every year, gay activists disrupted our booth activities,"she wrote of the fair outreach."They screamed obscenities, threw our materials from the exhibit table to the ground, insisted we recognize their same-sex 'spouses,' demanded that PFOX leave, and hit a PFOX volunteer because he is ex-gay.""When we explained that the county's sexual orientation law allows both the gay booth and our ex-gay booth to exhibit, the unhappy gays insisted that sexual orientation laws on hate crimes and discrimination do not apply to ex-gays-only gays-and no tolerance should be extended to former homosexuals,"she continued."The gays became infuriated when our ex-gay volunteers testified about leaving homosexuality...One gay man went so far as to hit our ex-gay volunteer because he refused to recant his ex-gay testimony.We summoned a police officer, who ejected the gay man off of the fairgrounds,"she said."Our ex-gay volunteer decided not to press assault charges against the gay man because he wanted to turn the other [cheek] as Jesus had done."The statement from Truth Wins Out followed almost immediately."She [Griggs] said that police intervened and ejected the assailant from the event. Ex-Gay Watch editor David Roberts investigated her claims and found that Griggs' story appears to be a complete fabrication," the statement said."One we started checking with people who would know, the evidence was overwhelming that it could not have happened the way they claimed," wrote Roberts. "Fair officials, the police, eyewitnesses-they all report that no physical attack took place, police were not involved, and no one was escorted off the property. PFOX claimed all those things, and Focus on the Family and other Christian media repeated the claims."The statement remained posted on the Truth Wins Out website a full week after police confirmed that the event did, in actuality, happen as Griggs reported....To read more go to:
