The Family Research Council has a quiz up on its website for us to take! Because Truth Wins Out readers are grounded in reality, as opposed to Tony Perkins’ weird, disturbed lie- and hatred-based worldview, you will all fail it miserably, but then again, that’s okay, because you all actually know the definition of “family values,” whereas the FRC does not.
The part about how ENDA would force Christians to remove family pictures from their workplaces is so batsh*t stupid/hilarious I don’t even know how to react. Fundamentalists are such victims.

I trust that the obvious errors are a foolish oversight, and not an example of gross moral bankruptcy. I sent them an e-mail yesterday to let them know where they’ve made mistakes, so that the issue may be corrected:
I can’t help but notice that most of the answers on your quiz are incorrect. The information included in the descriptions below contradicts the given “correct” answer for most cases, in case you need evidence of the error.
The only questions posted which has the correct answer (number 3) seems to have been given such entirely by accident, too! “Homosexual activists” do not claim that 10% of the population is gay, that is merely a popular–but widely known to be incorrect by actual experts such as gay-rights activists–figure.
Furthermore, the given answer to the question suggests the baffling illogic that because the population is small the Constitution should not apply to these tax-paying American citizens! Obviously ludicrous.
I trust that an organization dedicated to real values such as faith, family, and freedom will correct these gross errors post-haste. After all, bearing false witness against your neighbor would be in stark violation of those values; I am sure this misinformation was posted erroneously.
Yours in Christ’s Love
…Hmmm, they haven’t gotten back to me yet.
Of course I got this question ‘wrong’ LOL Here’s their ‘correct’ answer to the EDNA question:
True. The proposed Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA)—co-sponsored in the Senate by two Republicans and two Democrats—would force most employers to ensure a workplace free of “discrimination” against homosexuals, bisexuals, and transgender people. When such a policy was imposed at Sandia National Laboratories, many employees were ordered to take down Bible verses from screensavers and remove photos of their “traditional” families because homosexual employees found the images to be demeaning. FRC is in the trenches in Washington exposing the proposed law.
I just LOVE that because ONE COMPANY supposedly (we have only their word for the truth of this) had photos and Bible verses removed from workspaces then that means that the law will REQUIRE it to be the case everywhere. Personally, I don’t see the down side to that idea, but it just won’t happen. Talk about a leap!! Those morons should try out for the Olympics with a broad jump that wide! WOW. Either way they really should leave the thinking to those who tend to do their own.
I failed the FRC test with flying colors! :D
Technically, “Nobody gets family photos!” is a valid form of non-discrimination. Most likely from bigoted people who refused the more obvious method of “Everybody gets family photos.”
I can’t resist this. I’m going to end up on a mailing list again, aren’t I?
Oh *bliss*.
Fundamentalists are paranoic fascists. It has recently been scientifically proven that conservatives are pscyhotic:

Pat said “The only questions posted which has the correct answer (number 3) seems to have been given such entirely by accident, too! “Homosexual activists” do not claim that 10% of the population is gay, that is merely a popular–but widely known to be incorrect by actual experts such as gay-rights activists”.
Actually the 10% figure is NOT known to be incorrect although it is currently in vogue for many gay people to claim that. The only thing we can say for certain about surveys on the percentage of the population that is gay is that they all undercount the true percentage as many, perhaps most gays are in the closet and won’t reveal their orientation to researchers.
There is in fact considerable evidence to support a 10% or even higher figure:
“In 2003, Pathela’s team performed telephone interviews with nearly 4,200 New York City men. They conducted the interviews in English, Spanish, Chinese, and Russian; a translation service helped with interviews in Greek, Korean, Yiddish, Polish, and Haitian Creole.
In nearly every study of sexual behaviour, the percentage of men who report sex with men is higher than the percentage of men who report being gay.
– Nearly one in 10 men who say they’re straight have sex only with other men, a New York City survey finds.
And 70% of those straight-identified men having sex with men are married.
In fact, 10% of all married men in this survey report same-sex behaviour during the past year.”

A CDC study on the percentage of gays showed 2.3% said they were homosexual and 1.8% said they were bisexual. But 3.9% said they think of their sexuality as “something else” and 1.8% refused to answer. Its a safe bet that given the stigma associated with being gay and the word “homosexual” that virtually all of the 3.9% who said “something else” (gay, likely rather than “homosexual”) and all of the 1.8% who refused to answer were same gay as well, particularly given that the New York survey showed up to 10% of gay men lie about their orientation. That makes for 9.8% who said their sexuality was something other than heterosexual, again, very close to the Kinsey 10% figure.

A Canadian study of teenagers showed that 14% have some degree of same sex attraction:
“Online interviews were conducted in October 2005 by Ipsos Reid with 1,171 Canadian teenagers aged 14 to 17. As well, 1,139 mothers of teenagers were interviewed, but these weren’t the mothers of the teens who were surveyed. The results are considered accurate to within 2.9 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
In addition, the study found 86 per cent of girls said they were attracted to boys only, while 87 per cent of boys said they were attracted to girls only.”

Perhaps I should have said “…widely *thought* to be…” instead.
Obviously, exact numbers are not known, and possibly never will be.
Still, at least that last study includes bisexuals in the 14% figure, and at least half of those who even desire to marry would probably end up with opposite-sex spouses.
@Pat, #4
Exactly what went through my mind as well. Some numbskulls would rather prohibit *everyone* from family photos than let a gay man or lesbian have a photo of their loved ones in the name of fairness—if it’s in fact a true story to begin with. But at least if it is true, the hetero crowd there got a mild taste of what it’s like being forbidden a privilege that everyone else has.
Yes, when I say 10% or more are gay I’m including bisexuals.
Just as predicted, I failed the quiz miserably. Every question I answerd, I was wrong. Although, knowing how this organization (FRC) operates, I could have answered every question correctly, which then would have been lies. I find it difficult to fathom that if gay people only make up 2-3 percent of the population (another lie), why are they so concerned about it? Probably because more than 50 percent of the general population no longer believe their malingering BS.
