Tsk Tsk back at you. Did you read the conference agenda, I did. Did you see what was being presented? Did you just accept Fox News's headline that this was an anti-bullying conference as truth or balanced? Because if you read just a little bit more about the conference you'd see you are being, once again, fooled by the story you see and read on that "news" source.
Start here to see the overview of the conference
About the Conference
then look at the 20 breakout workshops offered here
Workshops
and perhaps you will notice that bullying is the topic of one of the twenty workshops
and maybe, just maybe you will understand the greater purpose of the conference which is
The mission of the Annual Iowa Governors Conference on LGBTQ Youth is to a) engage and educate students, educators, parents, community leaders, youth-serving professionals, policy makers, and others concerned about issues relevant to the LGBTQ community, and b) encourage networking and activism to inspire our communities to promote diversity, equality, and social justice.

But Fox didn't give you any of this information and you lacked the wisdom to get a wider view of the situation before drawing a conclusion that fit your worldview.
