Soulforce, headed by gay minister Mel White, expects 600 to 1,000 people from gay-friendly churches

What the heck is a "gay friendly" church?

"Soulforce will have to share the streets with Westboro Baptist Church from Topeka, Kan. That group, led by Fred Phelps, accuses Focus on the Family of being gay-friendly because the ministry hosts "Love Won Out" conferences, which tries to help gays return to heterosexual lifestyles."



Yeah, this won't be a circus or anything.

Dobson, who appears to be as meek as a kitten, has more courage than congressional republicans combined

One thing I completely struggle with is how gays can think their lifestyle is completely AOK. I simply don't get it. There is nothing natural about it. Nothing.

it's perfect.

Lunatics like Phelps and White battle it out in the streets while Dobson comes off looking like the rational player in this controversy - which he is.

So far as the article's able to determine, these people have nothing on Dobson or FOF but a bunch of vague accusations about "misusing statistics". They can't point to a single statement he or his group made that they claim is false. Typical liberals.

Soulforce want's to meet with Dobson, but according to Paul Hetrick, spokesman for Focus on the Family:
"I kind of wonder what purpose a meeting would have. We offered to meet with them in a debate format a week before they're coming."
And Soulforce declined the invitation. So when Soulforce wanted to meet with Dobson, what type of meeting did they have in mind? One where they talk and Dobson listens?

Well, I'm guessing by "gay friendly" the homoactivists mean "completely accepting of our homosexual lifestyle," in which case I would not consider them churches at all.

BTW, I'm very glad to not be a part of any of those denominations you listed.

Something similar to the Metropolitan Community Church?

I would venture to say that their protest is hurtful rhetoric. But what do I know about bedwetters who scream "it's about me ME ME!" all the time?

Probably one behind closed doors, so that the public isn't able to see Dobson cream them with logic and facts.

As per usual, I didn't bother to read beyond the headline, but I'm positive this article is about some queer boycotting the Ford Focus for some reason.  Absurd.  What umbrage will these people imagine next?

Just what "misinformation" is Dobson spreading? Seems to
me he IS telling the "truth" about homosexuality.
