American Family Association Family Values
The American Family Association says that they have the family in mind. This is why they do the things that they do. The problem is that they swear to have family values in mind when protesting the gay and lesbian community, but they are in turn trying to take away from the family by discriminating against the gay and lesbian community.
A family is what you make it, not what your sexual orientation is or is not. Gay and lesbian persons have families. The AFA is hurting these families by inflicting discrimination on their loved ones who are gay or lesbian.
Many people will disagree that the American Family Association is hurting the family, but you have to consider what they are doing and how they are doing it. By discriminating against gays, they are affecting the families of gay persons. It may not be directly, but it does. If your son or daughter, cousin, or grandchild is gay, the protesting of the AFA affects you as well.
If the AFA wants to protect the family, they should start working on issues such as abuse, war, poverty and lack of education. Sexual orientation should not be the concern of anyone except the person or persons involved.
Well said!
