Several Christian organizations raising alarms about a “Winter Wickedness” festival scheduled this weekend at an Ohio Holiday Inn apparently are having an impact as evidenced by a polyamory advocacy group’s effort to support the event and the motel.
WND reported on the alerts issued by Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth about Homosexuality, and others about the event scheduled at the Holiday Inn Columbus-Worthington Hotel.

LaBarbera previously campaigned against an event scheduled to coincide with President Obama’s inauguration in Washington, D.C., ultimately prompting its cancellation. He said the Ohio event is scheduled to feature classes “on ‘gangbang’ fantasies and various acts of sadomasochistic perversion and consensual sexualized violence, including subjecting fellow participants to hot wax torture, whipping, ‘cutting’ and needles, and being stapled with an electric staple gun.”
Also issuing alerts about the event set for the facility owned by Intercontinental Hotels Group was Citizens for Community Values, a Family Policy Council organization in Ohio, and Dave Daubenmire of Pass The Salt Ministries.
The results apparently have left the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom worried, because the organization that advocates for the “rights of consenting adults in the SM-leather-fetish, swing, and polyamory communities” is issuing its own alert, telling supporters to call the motel and remind the management how much money the sex-fest community generates.
“There are over 200 weekend-long BDSM events that take place every year in America – we bring in a lot of revenue in these hard times. We like to stay at hotel chains where we have been welcomed when we’re traveling on personal or business travel,” the organization listed as one of its “talking points.”
“Please make a phone call now to support the Holiday Inn Worthington, the host hotel for Adventures In
Sexuality’s (AIS) Winter Wickedness Event taking place February 6-8th,” the group asked. “It will only take a minute for you to help! It doesn’t matter where you live or if you’re not going to
attend this event.”
Among other points the sex-freedom organization suggested was a “thank you” to the motel for not discriminating against sex conferences and encouraging the motel’s stand against “hate and ignorance.”
The Holiday Inn management has declined to respond to several messages left by WND.
WND reported earlier when LaBarbera and his organization were integral in raising alerts about a “pig sex” event that had been planned to coincide with the general Washington partying during Obama’s move into the White House last month. LaBarbera ultimately reported the orgy was cancelled because of complaints to the host Doubletree Hotel.
“A big ‘Thanks’ to each of you who called the Doubletree and its parent company, Hilton Hotels,” LaBarbera said, “urging them to not allow this unbelievably depraved and unhealthy homosexual event to occur in public conference rooms.”
As WND reported, LaBarbera obtained information about the planned Washington event via e-mail from a source within the homosexual community.
The original e-mail advertising the “pig sex” orgy said, “We’ve now got a KILLER line up of DEMOS, including super skilled rope bondage, sounds play, and flogging. LIVE Music and Sound is gonna be provided by THE BLACK PARTY DJ Rich King. So you can s—, fist, rim, and [f—] TO THE BEAT.”
LaBarbera said those who are concerned about this weekend’s activities should call the motel or comment on the Intercontinental Hotels Group’s website.
“Tell them that is wrong to profit off of degrading and dangerous perversions that could present a health hazard to hotel workers or other guests,” he said.
He noted the organization’s website states rules suggesting “extreme perversions” are “likely to occur.”
For example, the rules demand: “Single tail [whip] play, Wax, Medical, Cutting, Needle play, and FirePlay, must be performed in the designated areas only. Please [c]onsult a PSM [Play Space Monitor] for the appropriate area if you are not sure. Drop clothes, gloves, condoms, sharps containers, tarps, etc., must be used for this sort of play.”
LaBarbera also cited the limit: “Gun Play, Golden showers (urine), Brown Showers (Feces) or Rainbow/Roman showers (Vomit) are not allowed in this venue.”
“What other conference imaginable would have to issue this shocking warning,” he said.
LaBarbera said a hotel staff member said the motel was scheduled to be almost full for the conference, and in fact the sponsoring organization’s website said tickets were sold out.
The sponsors said the featured speaker would be Tristan Taormino, described by LaBarbera as “the self-described ‘queer’ author of ‘The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women’ and an advocate of ‘polyamory’ – multiple-partner relationships.”
LaBarbera previously reported on “Leather” events held annually at the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago and has criticized the company for its “long history of enabling and profiting off of the hyper-promiscuous ‘leather’ movement by hosting the annual sadomasochistic ‘International Mr. Leather’ conference.”
Obama, during his campaign and since the election, repeatedly has affirmed his support for homosexual rights, and his aides have said that they expect him to announce he will lift the ban on open homosexuality in the U.S. military.
