The 2017 Values Voter Summit is as disturbingly anti-gay as expected.
BuzzFeed editor David Mack tweeted a photo of a pamphlet that was distributed on the first day of the three-day D.C. gathering, attended by conservatives since 2006 to preserve the bedrock values of traditional marriage, religious liberty, sanctity of life and limited government that make our nation strong.
The pamphlet, written by MassResistance , a pro-family activist organization that educates people to help them confront the attacks on the traditional family, children, religion, and society that is listed as an exhibitor at the event , is titled The Health Hazards of Homosexuality. Its promoting a book by the same title published by MassResistance in February that apparently includes topics like why homosexuality is a public health issue and the born gay myth.

A photo of the pamphlet and the bag in which it was handed out was also taken by Right Wing Watchs Peter Montgomery and was sent to HuffPost by Queer Voices Editor-at-Large Michelangelo Signorile, both of whom are attending the summit.
