Focus On The Facts, LGBT Activists Seek Dialogue With Dobson

[Albtraumen]

At least someone made a gesture, goes to show who's willing to talk and who wants to issue orders from on high.

Dobson does not want to know the truth about the GLBT Community, he just wants to promote stereotypes and control the coffers of the church.

Oh what well-meaning naivety!

These FOTF fanatics do not want a dialogue. They want a christian totalitarian state where LGBT people, among others, would be persecuted. What we have here are fascists carrying a cross. They hate you and they will throw your yellow roses to the garbage can.

You cannot have dialogue with these people, just as gays could not enter into

dialogue with the Nazis in the 30's. Instead, work with other progressives to *stop* these fanatics before it's too late.

can you please show me examples of how FOTF has helped families and save marriages? btw divorced families dont really need help, my family is a divorced one and my mom and dad live on opposite sides of the usa and we live just fine. FOTF doesnt help at all, it's only a nice little cover to support McCain. bastards

[scotplaya]

FOTF will see you as a degenerate. Since you don't have both parents present. I hate people that see children as threats just because they have a single parent. I see parents that stay together for the sake of the child but really abuses the child due to countless arguing.

where's the dialogue w/ Dobson???!!

[LadyGreenEyes964]

What a crock. They felt "rejected" right after saying how nice their guide was and how nice a tour they had? Can't have it both ways!!

[BenAliGtor]

These folks can do what they want,but I'm one heterosexual married Evangelical male who says that Dobson deserves no "dialogue", no flowers and no letters, no matter how well intentioned.Not only is his viewpoint biblically corrupt, his motives are purely mercenary.There can be no "common ground" with fraud. Dobson's message has little to do with either "biblical values" OR homophobia- and everything to do with enflaming the passions of the sheeple in the pews so that the money keeps rolling in.

[tashantx]

amen he is really twisted!

[perfectouss]

Gays do not ruin of society!

Homosexuals are good persons!

Homosexual life is good!

[Daionisio]

Kudos. Kudos. That's amazing, I have so much respect for this. Peacebuilding is so admirable. How courageous of you all. Well done!

I admire you all so much for what you have done. Keep up the good work. Keep trying to communicate and find common ground between you and other who seem hostile to who you are. Bless you all.

[demdio07]

What a great thing for you guys to do, trying to reach out and establish a positive relationship, while it may be so easy to just feel hostility. Wonderful.

damn, I thought I was gonna be the 666th viewer.

Personally, I'm glad that this group visited 'FOTF' with an attempt to better understand the organization. One of your participants commented that people should be 'accepting' of other's differences. Agreed. However, should that include former homosexuals who are no longer practicing homosexuals due to the effectiveness of Focus' 'Love Won Out' homosexual ministry? My perspective is that the LGBT community has been EXTREMELY harsh towards these individuals - and that ministry.

[ericnruss]

I am so glad you have done this. My partner and I have been together for 10 years, and when I hear some of the untrue things that FOTF says about the gay community, it makes me furious. I would find it very hard to reach out to those people without being confrontational, so I am glad you are starting a dialogue. The only way to change their minds is to show them the truth. Way to go!

[colojason]

Congratulations on another successful action to promote dialog as part of the "Focus on the Facts" campaign!

Never lose hope. Bloody crusades, witch hunts, slavery, segregation, laws banning interracial marriage, men treating women as property... all supported by the Bible once upon a time. Those terrible mistakes are behind us and one day religious-based bigotry toward LGBT people will be behind us too. We're going to have to keep working for it, but change is coming. Hang in there!

James,

Kudos for doing this.  It takes a brave person to present yellow roses to Focus on the Family.

Great to see your partner in the video also.

Sincerely,

Mike

Thanks so much for doing this, friends, from another Soulforce volunteer!

It disturbs me that so many Americans accept Dr. Dobson as "the expert" on gay people. I even once did.
