}} In the United States, the Day of Dialogue is the Christian fundamentalist group Focus on the Family's annual event to oppose LGBT rights.[1] It was previously known as the Day of Truth and was founded by the Alliance Defense Fund in 2005 in opposition to the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network's Day of Silence which protests the harassment and bullying of LGBT students.[2] HistoryADF's Day of TruthThe "Day of Truth" event was first organized in 2005, primarily through the efforts of the Alliance Defense Fund, with the endorsement of several major conservative and anti-LGBT organizations, including the Christian ministry group Focus on the Family and the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission.[3] According to the Alliance Defense Fund, the event was established in order to "counter the promotion of the homosexual agenda and express an opposing viewpoint from a Christian perspective."[4] In 2009 the ADF-sponsored "Day of Truth" website stated that the event gave students "an opportunity to speak the Truth in love and have an honest conversation about homosexuality", and encouraged participating students to wear T-shirts and pass out cards with the following message: I'm speaking the Truth to break the silence. True tolerance means that people with differing — even opposing — viewpoints can freely exchange ideas and respectfully listen to each other. It's time for an honest conversation about homosexuality. There's freedom to change if you want to. Let’s talk.[4] ADF claims that students who have attempted to speak against same-sex relationships and behavior have been censored or, in some cases, punished for their actions under campus hate-speech rules, such as Tyler Chase Harper, a high school student whose bigotry sparked the first Day of Truth. Harper was suspended for wearing a T-shirt that read "Be Ashamed" and "Our School Embraced What God Has Condemned," and on the back read, "Homosexuality is Shameful" and "Romans 1:27." The Alliance Defense Fund filed an unsuccessful federal lawsuit against school officials on behalf of Harper, claiming his religious freedoms were violated. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court.[5][7] The Supreme Court ruled that the case was moot because Harper had already graduated, declined to further consider it, and ordered the lower court to vacate their decision against Harper, leaving future matters open for litigation as though the previous trial had never occurred.[6] According to ADF, over 1,100 students in 350 schools participated in the first Day of Truth, in 2005.[7] The second Day of Truth was held on April 27, 2006, with nearly 3,000 students from more than 800 schools participating, according to ADF statistics. In February, ADF alleged that various unnamed bloggers opposed to the Day of Truth had attempted to undermine the event by swamping the Day of Truth web site with requests for brochures.[8] According to ADF, more than 7,000 students participated in the third Day of Truth, which was held on April 19, 2007.[9] In one of several Day of Truth-related legal actions, ADF filed a federal lawsuit in 2006 on behalf of a student who they claim was prevented by his school from participating in the event, despite allowing the Day of Silence.[10][11] ADF reached a settlement with the student's North Carolina high school in 2007, allowing the student to participate in Day of Truth.[12] Kevin Jennings of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) has described the event as "a publicity stunt cooked up by a conservative organization with a political agenda; it’s an effort by adults to manipulate some kids."[3] In response, Mike Johnson of ADF contends that “We wouldn’t have come up with the Day of Truth if Christian kids hadn’t been silenced in the first place. . . . The public school is part of the free market of ideas — if the other side is going to advance their point of view, it’s only fair for the Christian perspective to present their view, too."[3]After ADFADF announced that beginning in 2009, it passed on its leadership role in the Day of Truth to an ex-gay organization, Exodus International,[13] which had already participated in running the event.[14] On October 6, 2010, Exodus International said it would no longer be supporting or leading the Day of Truth since it had become too divisive and confrontational.[1] On November 6, 2010, Focus on the Family announced it had acquired the Day of Truth event and was renaming it to the Day of Dialogue. Focus on the Family said it would maintain the event's goal of "encouraging honest and respectful conversation among students about God's design for sexuality."[15] See also
