Kevin Swanson, the conference’s chief organizer, is a far-right pastor and host of the “Generations Radio” program, on which he has frequently claimed that the government should put gay<\/a> people to death, warned that the Girl Scouts and the movie “Frozen” turn girls into lesbians<\/a> and blamed natural disasters on gay people<\/a> and women<\/a> who wear pants.<\/p>\n
