Iowa Family Leader quietly removes link to anti-gay seminars

Jason Hancock, of the Iowa Independent reports that a link to a seminar series portraying homosexuality as a public health crisis has been removed from the website of the Iowa Family Leader, the Iowa organization which claims to have nothing to do with the national Mormon-led organization with an identical name.

Julie Summa, director of marketing and public outreach for The Family Leader, said the seminar series has not been offered for around two years. However, up until Tuesday, a link to the seminar’s website was made available to anyone who signed up for e-mail updates on the group’s 99-county “Capturing Momentum Tour.” The Family Leader’s phone number is listed as contact info for anyone interested in booking the seminar.
     When asked by The Iowa Independent why, if the series has not been offered for two years, it continues to be advertised on The Family Leader’s website, Summa said it was a mistake.
