That fall, the organization suffered two high-profile embarrassments. In September, Focus division chief and self-described "ex- gay" John Paulk admitted he had twice visited a gay bar and lied about it. Paulk had been the poster child for the ministry's "Love Won Out" conferences, which promote the idea that homosexuals can become heterosexual. Less than a month later, Mike Trout, the longtime co-host of Dobson's popular radio show, resigned after admitting to an extramarital affair. http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,36%257E53%257E1198166,00.html
