James Dobson founded FoF in 1977. Dobson is a former child development professor. In addition to homophobic pursuits, Dobson is known as an enthusiastic child (call-it-abuse) spanking advocate. FoF absolutely detests laws that prohibit parents from beating the hell out of their kids to keep them in line. Glenn T. Stanton seems to be the bigot-in-chief these days. He is "Director of Social Research and Cultural Affairs and Senior Analyst for Marriage and Sexuality at Focus on the Family." Does that actually fit on his business card?

FoF now has approximately 1,500 employees to help spread the word about the evils of "perversion" and the "gay lifestyle." Anyone who disagrees with their world view is promptly labeled a militant homosexual activist. There are no gays or lesbians in Dobson-world - just sick homosexuals, all of who are "militant" and all of who share some common "agenda." About 7,500 radio stations broadcast Dobson' message about the militant homosexual agenda (whatever the hell that is) to an estimated 200,000,000 people. Thus Dobson is just not a garden variety crackpot; He is a dangerous crackpot with a message of hate cloaked in religious respectability. On the web, they deliver their message on CitizenLink.com - a faux news site.

Among the gems on the website is this screed explaining sexual orientation:

It is more likely to be related to one or more of the following: (1) confusion of role models seen in parents, including, but not limited to, a dominant mother and a weak or absent father; (2) serious family dysfunction that wounds and damages the child; (3) early sexual abuse; (4) the influence of an older homosexual during a critical period of adolescence; (5) conscious choice and cultivation; and/or (6) homosexual experimentation, such as mutual masturbatory activity, by boys in early adolescence.

Of course, the above is heavily blended with a good dose of Christian teachings and scripture. Dobson always says that he "loves homosexuals." Perhaps we could all benefit if he adored us a bit less.

Focus on the Family also likes to forcast the consequences of same-sex marriage in terms that most people would describe as racial bigotry:

Marital decline has occurred in many other cultures, but there is an example much closer to home. This is precisely what is happening in America's inner cities, where the family has largely disintegrated. More than 70 percent of all black children are born out of wedlock today and millions more are aborted. Alcoholism, drug abuse, violence and sexually transmitted disease are rampant. Social chaos reigns."

FoF frames all civil rights and equal protection issues as "homosexual special rights." Dobson makes the claim that funding for heart research and other diseases has been limited because of vast sums spent on AIDS research. This the result - you already know this part - of the militant homosexual activists.

Jim goes a bit over the top from time to time. Here is a classic:

Communities do not let prostitutes, pedophiles, voyeurs, adulterers and those who sexually prefer animals to publicly celebrate their lifestyle, so why should homosexuals get such privileges?

Focus on the Family is particularly obsessed with same-sex marriage.  Focus on the-Family tells us:

Under such a definition, one man and six women could be regarded as a legal entity, reintroducing the debate over polygamy. We thought we settled that issue in the last century.

and;

There is good reason, then, to defend the narrow legal definition of the family as understood over the centuries. After all, the family as I have characterized it is not merely human in origin. It is God's marvelous creation. And He has not included casual social relationships — even the most loving ones — within that bond of kinship. Nor should we.

In other words, FoF is very capable of portraying themselves and their fellow Christians as victims in contrast to the targets of their hate. They do so in comfort on a 50 acre campus in Colorado Springs.

 "Researchers at Focus on the Family (FOF) and the Family Research Council (FRC) have put together several research reports . . . " concerning same-sex marriage.

1. None of this so-called "research" is either published or peer reviewed.
2. Most of it relies heavily on the work of the discredited Paul Cameron.
3. None of this would stand up to the scientific scrutiny of a high school chemistry experiment.
4. The material is manufactured to conform to a cultural and scriptural pre-determined outcome.
5. The logic is tortured.

Homosexual relationships are not marriage. That is, they simply do not fit the minimum necessary condition for a marriage to exist--namely, the union of a man and a woman.

In other words, marriage must be defined as the union of a man and a woman because anything else is not the union of a man and a woman. Huh?

Homosexual relationships are harmful. Not only do they not provide the same benefits to society as heterosexual marriages, but their consequences are far more negative than positive.

Sounds authoritative but actually says nothing. It's just another way to restate hate and bigotry.
