The AFA otherwise known as the American Family Association as they so gloriously call themselves are not speaking for me or many others in the world. I have questions for them that I know they will not answer here because they only spout off when they have nothing better to do. Here a few of there crusades that meant nothing in the end and my questions to them if they choose to speak up, which I doubt they will. I think they hide in confrontation.
The AFA boycotted Ford Corporation starting in 2005 because Ford supported the homosexual agenda. They donated thousands of dollars to Gay Rights Groups and even sponsored Gay Pride Parades. Ford saw nothing wrong with gay and lesbian relationships and wanted to be supportive. The AFA has since dropped the boycott because other things have come around. They think they won because Ford saw a drop in sales. Could it be that the economy had something to do with that? You really must think about that in order to openly say there was progress.
The AFA boycotted Walden Books and lost. They ended up having a lawsuit file against them for harassment. They wanted the bookstore to stop selling Playboy and Penthouse. Thumbs up for Waldens Book stores.
Then they tried to boycott Kohl's because they never mentioned Christmas in their ads at Christmas time. Kohl's did not suffer at all. People like to shop at Kohl's and continued to do so. The owner is Jewish.
Now there is the boycott against Proctor & Gamble for the gay kiss on "As the World Turns" which PG sponsors. You do not hear so must about this anymore, did the AFA finally wake up and realize that no one was going to boycott a company that makes so many things that they need to survive?
The AFA went so far as to say that the reason for the Virginia High School slayings and Combine as well as the rest of the school shooting is because the bible is not allowed in schools. They might have had ground to stand on if they would have taken the right approach and found out what the kids felt. Not all kids need the bible to good. Some do turn out bad because of other underlying things.
They even went after the Girl Scouts of America because they do not discriminate against any girl that is a lesbian and wants to be a Girl Scout. They allow everyone the right to be a Girl Scout.
The AFA even went after Kraft Foods with no success because Kraft was a sponsor for the Gay Games in 2005 at Chicago.
The AFA has had its website blocked by many webmasters who believe that they practice hatred and discrimination against gays. They AFA says that they have a right to do this because of freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
My question for any brave AFA member is:
If you believe in freedom of speech and freedom of religion, then why are you discriminating against companies that have the freedom to support any organization or group of people they choose?
Why do you discriminate against anyone or anything?
Do you think you are better than the rest of us people who find nothing wrong with the gay community?
Do you think people that support gay and lesbian people are bad too?
As we all know, they are not going to come here and answer these questions because they are just spouting off a bunch of hot air. They are people with nothing better in their lives, so they dream up ways to get attention. All negative of course.

Being Gay Is Hard Today
Being gay in today's society is hard because many people teach hatred and discrimination towards gays. As many gay couples have found out, the marriage issues are something that many people are fighting against. The reason for this is that they do not want gay couples to marry. They feel it is against God. The truth is that these people are not reading the entire bible. The bible also says that no one should discriminate against anyone.
Gay and lesbian people are human and fit into this wording in the bible. The organizations that are anti-gay are doing exactly what the bible says not to do. However, they call themselves Christians. I find it hard to relate to the bible when the people that preach the bible are going against what it says. If you read the bible, some passages anyway, it does seem to preach hate and good all in one.
Gay and lesbian people deserve and will get the respect in today's society that they deserve. It is just a matter of time.

Exodus International Is Really Trying To Change Gay People
Although this organization claims to love and except gay people, they are really trying to change them and make them heterosexuals. Yes, they have worked to get laws changed to punish though that abuse and beat gays. However, the truth is that one of the leaders was quoted as saying that he would never rent to a gay person. Now, you have to wonder what exactly was the thinking or logic of this person for saying this. The ex-gay ministries as they call themselves seem like nothing more than a group of people who are denying who they are and pretending to be "cured" as they say.
Can you cure someone of being gay? No, it is not possible to live a healthy life if you try to brainwash someone into hating himself or herself so much to denounce who they are. You can brainwash someone into being "not gay," but you cannot change a gay person inside.
Focus on the Family's Love is for intervention that requires taking your child to pre-homosexual treatment. It practices conversion therapy and has been used on children as young as 5 years old. Isn't this a form of child abuse? I would say so, but then again they get away with practicing hate.
Conversion therapy is harmful to anyone. It causes many suicide attempts, low self-esteem, social isolation and depression. Why would someone even consider doing this to a child, they say they love. This in my opinion is the worst form of mental abuse. You cannot change someone's sexual orientation. Doing this to children is horrible. These people call themselves protectors. If this is how they protect the young, I would rather take my chances of living as a gay person.
Someone needs to speak up and keep these so called ex-gays out of schools and away from our kids. Adults can fight back, but kids whose parents listen to this garbage are causing so much pain to their children. This is a horrible way to treat children gay or not gay.
Five-year-old kids do not know if they are gay or not. It comes about later in the child's life. My daughter knew she liked girls when she was young, but she did not know she was gay. It took time for her to come to a realization herself. This must stop.

A True Gay Love Story With A Sad Ending
All she wanted was love and respect from her family and friends. I worked with Sherry many years ago and talked to her often. She was a nice person who did not dislike anyone. She found her way out.
I do want to point out that this is about a lesbian named Sherry, but I could be writing about a man named Mike, I knew, who was heterosexual and had the same problems and solution. We are all the same, with the same feelings.
This is a true story about a woman that just wanted to be in love and have her family and friends accept her for who she was. She was a lesbian. This is her story.
All she ever wanted in life was to be happy. She became pregnant after leaving the service, but found herself drawn to her best friend from the service. They were so close and enjoyed so many things together. They became intimate and decided to raise her then young son together. She was so excited and happy for the first time since she was a teenager.
They lived together without the support of her family and friends. Her partner's family was very open and welcoming, but her family was judgmental and demeaning of her relationship and of her partner. Sherry was determined to make her relationship with Tami work. She tried to reason with her family and found herself losing every time she turned around.
Tami was about to leave because she could not take the discrimination and judgmental behavior of Sherry's friends and family. Sherry thought the only way she would ever make the pain go away would be to die. She tried to commit suicide by pills. Her mother found her and she was saved. For what, she wondered, since she had loss the love of her life.
Her son was growing and started to take on similar attitudes as her friends and family had. What did she expect when they were constantly telling him she was bad and that Tami should not live there with them. Tami came back, only to leave again. It was impossible to be happy in that home. Sherry tried suicide again. She slashed her wrists and was saved when Tami found her.
Tami and Sherry tried to make things work. They loved each other and wanted to be together, but the turmoil that friends and family were inflicting was unbearable for Tami, who had total acceptance from her family and friends.
The third time Sherry tried to commit suicide she succeeded. She hanged herself in the basement. All she wanted was love and respect from her friends and family. She needed them to accept her. She wanted to be with the one person she felt comfortable with and loved. She wanted Tami.
This story takes a bad turn and not only was Sherry gone, but her son was the one to come home and find her instead of her mother. All these lives ruined because no one in her family would accept her and her relationship.
A boy without a mother, a woman without her life, a woman without the one person she loved, but could not have according to some people who could not open their minds and their hearts for love.
