Focus on the Family has joined with TiVo to turn Father’s Day 2008 into a back-door political attack against gay fathers.
The TiVo “SuperDad” campaign invites people to nominate fathers as SuperDads; Focus’ involvement ensures that gay fathers and their families will be excluded. TiVo’s ties to Focus on the Family are no accident, according to a TiVo representative who spoke with Joe.My.God Average Gay Joe. The Family Equality Council is organizing a letter-writing campaign to TiVo in support of gay fathers.
In addition to discriminating against gay fathers and their offspring, Focus and its local branches and antifamily allies in California plan this year to divert $30 million dollars from more charitable endeavors into their petty war against marriage.
Joe Brummer points out that the $30 million spent by antifamily religious-right groups to institutionalize discrimination against monogamous gay couples should instead be spent to prevent malaria in Africa, buy cell phones for soldiers in Iraq to talk with their families, sponsor a million children in Africa for a month, or send 1,000 youths to college for a year.
Unfortunately, FOF isn’t posting any of the submissions about gay dads–surprise! Family Equality is working on a response…
proudtobedad, how do we know if anyone submitted any?
Sons of gay fathers, and gay sons of good fathers, have submitted nominations and tracked FOTF’s refusal to post them.

These people grow more contemptible and repugnant with each passing day. They cloak their filth and lies in love but after reading some of their articles, I would have to be brain-dead not to pick up on the acid of hate which underlies then. It is so sad that they cannot even let gay dads be recognise. I’m glad that someone is keeping track of them.
