Tebow is expected to speak this weekend at Wildfire a mens conference hosted by the conservative Christian university. His remarks will be closed to the general public.

The professional football player is well-known for sharing his faith in Christ but in recent weeks hes come under fire from the national media and gay rights activists for speaking in churches that follow biblical teaching.

Huffington Post called Liberty a notoriously conservative private college with an anti-gay reputation. And more than 10,000 people have signed a petition launched by Faithful America calling on the quarterback to cancel his speech.

Liberty University isnt just another conservative Christian college, the group stated. Its ground-zero for a global assault on the legal rights of gays and lesbians and a symbol of everything thats wrong with the religious right.

A Liberty University spokesman refused to comment.

Faithful America said Tebow would give his Christian faith a bad name by speaking at the university founded by the late Jerry Falwell.

Several weeks ago Tebow canceled a speaking engagement at the First Baptist Church of Dallas citing new information he had received.
