Anti-Gay Group Swamps Lawmakers With Freedom Of Info Demands

Denver, Colorado) Colorado lawmakers who voted against impeaching a judge who made a gay-positive ruling in a child custody case are being swamped with demands from the conservative lobby group Focus on the Family to turn over all of their files, letters, documents, emails, phone records and notes.

FOC, one of the most vocal opponents of gay issues, had sought the removal of Denver District Judge John Coughlin after he ruled last November that a woman could not subject her child to homophobic teachings at her church.

The case involved an eight year old girl who was adopted by Cheryl Clark as an infant. Her then partner, Elsey McLeod, was given joint parenting rights.

But, when Clark, a Denver doctor, converted to Christianity she declared herself to be straight and ended the relationship with McLeod.

Oh that's just yummy.

queen of the world!

and obsessed with gay marriage to point that can't be healthy. :eyes: They also have a "Love Won Out" program to "cure" homosexuals. Sickening.

I was raised on Dr. Dobson. It's a wonder I turned out the way I did!

My grandmother sent me Dobson's shit until I pointed out his quote that it was ok to lie about Clinton as long as it accomplished his aims. "That's not right!" she said at the time.

Doesn't Nalgene make lab equipment of some kind?

Remember the ridicule those of us who defended him were subject to when we said that releasing letters could out some gays and be very bad for them. Just why do you think FOF is asking for these letters. Could it be to out some gays who had the audacity to write to their lawmakers?

The group (FOF)is "very, very troubled" that Coughlin, as part of the custody order, said a Christian woman mustn't teach her child anything "considered homophobic," said Tom Minnery, Focus on the Family's vice president for public policy. . . .

Smith and Rep. Joe Stengel, R-Littleton, pointed out during the impeachment hearing that Coughlin didn't come up with the "homophobic" term out of the blue. In reading the more than 400 pages of court transcript, Stengel and Smith said Coughlin was quoting what Clark had requested, that she didn't want her daughter taught anything "considered homophobic" as part of her religious training. . . .

The judge still shouldn't have put it in the record, Minnery said. Coughlin is an officer of the court and the term shouldn't be used in a legal opinion, he said. . . .

"I'm sure his opinion will be read by other jurists in the future and they might borrow that word. Gay activists use that word against anyone who is exercising religious freedom in this country," Minnery said. . . .

one must fight fire with fire -- i'm sure fof has things that they wouldn't want the public to know.

LET'S OUT 'Em

There are like two sentences in the Bible about it, and Jesus said absolutely NOTHING about it. They're a hate group, pure and simple-- no better than the KKK. To be honest, I didn't used to give a shit about gay rights. Didn't have anything particularly against gay people, but wasn't too concerned with gay liberation. But seeing the nastiness and hate of groups like this has changed my tune. Fuck man, it's just basic civil rights-- wasn't this shit pretty much figured out over 200 years ago? But we're still arguing about it? Too many fascists in this country-- and they're taking over. Scary.
