Notoriously homophobic institution Focus on the Family has just landed itself on a list of Colorado’s sites of COVID-19 outbreaks.
Westworld reports the Colorado Springs-based “ministry” joined the Colorado Springs Police Department, Battle Mountain High School and the Adams County Cracker Barrell on Colorado’s list of COVID-19 hotspots. Health department officials recorded three confirmed staff cases with one more possible infection last Friday (August 21), landing Focus on the Family in the #10 spot in the top 20 outbreak hotspots in the state.

Overall, cases of COVID-19 have remained low in recent weeks in Colorado. The ministry’s website–which fails to mention the recent outbreak at company headquarters–features a series of articles addressing the coronavirus pandemic. Among them: “Taking Positive Steps in Your Marriage,” which offers counsel to couples experiencing relationship tension; “Supporting Birth Mothers During the Coronavirus,” an anti-abortion polemic; and “Grief During COVID-19: We’re Isolated, but Not Abandoned,” which advises prayer and faith to cope with the mental strain of the pandemic. The site also features a prominent essay by organization president Jim Daly lamenting same-sex couples raising children, the advent of birth control and advances in in-vitro fertilization.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Founded by James Dobson in 1977, Focus on the Family has made a reputation for promoting a fundamentalist Christian view of marriage and family. With that has come a glut of homophobia, opposing marriage equality, domestic partnerships, adoption by same-sex couples and workplace protections against queer people. The ministry also has attracted wide criticism for misrepresentation of research in an attempt to prove LGBTQ people cannot make good parents or have healthy relationships and promoted conversion therapy as a successful way to “treat” homosexuality.

These groups, cults are filled with the perverted. They use religion because of the guilt they have and they think they’re fooling their god by saying all the negative things they say. The final proof lies with Jerry Falwell Jr and his new stint with fame. Their word and condemnation are a joke and is worthless. Anyone that follows these types of groups, we now know are perverted. They have no more value so shut up.

With any luck they’ll all get corona, then we’ll see if their god will listen to their prayers. I sincerely doubt it.

Don’t forget, one of the founders and board members of “Family Research Council” when it merged with “Focus on the Family” was George Reckers.
The guy who wrote all of that anti- LGBTQ “Research” that bigots used in court to pass bigoted laws. He was eventually exposed taking a trip with a male prostitute he hired off of rentboy. com.
That’s who these people are. A bunch of elf hating homophobes with baggage.
