Soulforce March in Colorado Springs

Hundreds of people from the LGBT community participated in the Soulforce march today to the headquarters of Focus on the Family to protest the "disinformation campaign" aimed at gays.

Focus on the Family rolled out their token "ex-lesbian" as a spokesperson spewing the same predictable rubbish...

Focus defends its statements. Although it did not attempt to engage any of the protestors in discussion the organization had spokespeople on hand to present its views to the media.

One of them, Melissa Fryrear, said she is a "former lesbian who found a way out" and is now a "gender issues analyst" at FOF.

"We don't believe that marriage should be redefined, we believe that children are raised best in the home of their mother and father," said Fryrear.

And she accused Soulforce of trying to push its agenda on her organization.
"They seem to be very intolerant of our positions and our ideals and what we believe," she said.
