The unfortunate truth is that the "bible belt" DOES want to convert gays. They not only what to convert them but they claim they can "Cure" them with their DANGEROUR "conversion therapy."
Not only are these groups dangerous, but they keep NO records as far as supposed sucesses...because they don't exist!

They have the illness!
CHRISTIANITY= VIRUS OF THE MIND
Christianity is basically nothing more than an extremely efficient virus of the mind.
Since they emanate from humans and therefore have an organic component, all ideas have a survival instinct just like their human progenitors, and will seek to propagate themselves into as many human hosts as possible. Now of course some ideas are beneficial to their human hosts, but not all.
Christianity is one of those malignant versions. Of course, the long-term life expectancy of its human hosts is beneficial to the Christian mind virus since it allows more propagation, but ultimately the survival of its human hosts is irrelevant, as demonstrated throughout history in wars with competing religious viral "memes" (ideas).
Need proof? Just look at the evangelical nature of Christianity. Christianity drives its adherents to "spread the word" through human-to-human contact...just like a virus spreads.
And what is a "word" anyway? Nothing more than the spoken or written expression of an IDEA. The Christian Bible even ADMITS that God is nothing more than an IDEA..."In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD WAS GOD", remember?
Need more proof? Ever wonder why the Catholic Church opposes birth control and abortion? It's not because abortion is murder, because throughout history the Catholic Church has either endorsed murder (Crusades, Inquisition) or turned a blind eye to it (Holocaust). No, it's because THE MORE UNEDUCATED, POOR, IGNORANT SOULS THAT ARE BORN INTO POVERTY AND MISERY ON THIS PLANET, THE GREATER THE CHRISTIAN MIND VIRUS' CHANCES OF SURVIVAL.
Add to this, their real fear that they may have backed the wrong horse and their terrified gays may be having a better time and enjoying life more
(AND OF COURSE WE ARE)
it send them into a frenzy of soul saving to make themselves feel a little better .....its very sad .

Who says they don't want to convert? I personally know of a church in Oregon with an active ministry of ex- gays and lesbians.

They're happy preaching to the ignorant, the last thing they need is people who want to think for them selves.

In a free society, we are all allowed to spout as many stupid things as we want. It's sort of like Yahoo Answers.
You don't have to agree with conservatives, but you do have to allow them their say.
And incidentally, if gays CANNOT be converted, if their orientation is something they are BOUND to do, then where is free will?
I think they could change their behavior if they wanted to.
Wanting to, ah, there's the rub!
I find in all aspects of life and religion especially you love what loves you first.
