The progressive blog Shakespeare's Sister gets extra credit in the Religious Right surveillance department for spotting the latest ploy by Focus on the Family: 5,000 little promotional balls given out at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. They promote a new Focus on the Family (often abbreviated "FOF" online) website aiming to, among other things, "cure" gay Americans. FOF is James Dobson's would-be family-oriented counseling machine that is primarily a vehicle for the propagation of the Religious Right's agenda--an agenda that is, by definition, political.
Here are important insights on how to act locally against FOF's operations.
Recently, Colorado's freshman U.S. Senator expressed concerns about FOF.
There's great content here about some of FOF's recent political shenanigans--this time relative to "Justice Sunday." A short overview on FOF is here (scroll down to "Focus on the Family" subheading), and a look at their significant role in the rightwing's longtime war against gay Americans can be seen here.
