“There are people who are desperate to make CFA guilty, it appears. They (CFA) have written a statement explaining who they fund and who they have always funded, yet it’s not good enough because the press is saying something different.”
THAT IS NOT THE POINT. If I were DEFAMED publicly, I would identify it and respond to it.
Specifically, I would write something like the following:
“In the past week, there have been news reports that we will not longer will fund organizations committed to keeping marriage exclusively defined as between one man and one woman. Let us state outright that we will continue to donate to those groups, and, in fact, don’t be surprised if we double our donations, just to make our point.”
THAT IS WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR.
Not something like: “We have and will always fund groups that share our values.”
If they’re not up to a strong statement, perhaps they should get rid of their gay PR guy (all PR guys are gay) and do what’s needed. A lot of us, at this point, feel USED by them.
Go google GLAAD opinion on Winshape... and you will be pleasantly surprised that CFA hasn’t backed down at all.
In fact, you can read some of their wining here.

As you can follow... CFA doesn’t give any money to Focus on The Family, or the Family Research Council... WinShape does that.
WinShape is offensive to the gay lobby for that, and the fact that they put on marriage retreats that require the couple be a man & a woman to participate
CFA hasn’t changed one single thing... but you’re willing to buy the lie hook line & sinker because some Chicago Democrat and a gay newspaper said so.
