Focus on the Family Cashes in on Anti-Gay “Day of Truth”

Religious Dispatches reports:

When suicides by teenagers bullied for being gay, or perceived as being gay, reached a relative peak a couple of months ago, leading “ex-gay” organization Exodus International dropped its sponsorship of the annual “Day of Truth” designed to counter the “Day of Silence” observed by gay kids and their allies at schools around the country.

At the time, Exodus cited the “Day of Truth” activities as too divisive in an atmosphere where kids were being bullied to death for their sexual orientation. Have no fear, though, because the Focus on the Family has stepped in to save the “Day of Truth”—complete with a new name for the same old idea. ... More importantly, it’s not as profitable for Focus on the Family—and Focus’ true concern is always about that bottom line. MORE
