I don't know whether anyone here is familiar with Dr. James Dobson's ministry, or even if you like it, but that's beside the point. He's angered many in the LBGT community for standing up for God's word. They consider him one of the most dangerous men in America. :rolleyes: Let's pray for him as he faces this opposition for standing up for God's truth. Here are snippets of the article. Please go to the website to read the article in it's entirety.
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Families and Friends to March on James Dobson's Headquarters
06.15.06
(Boulder, CO) - This July, same-gender couples, families with children, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals and straight friends will undertake a week-long justice march which will commence from the steps of the Colorado State Capitol building and end at the headquarters of Focus on the Family for a vigil and concert celebrating the lives an love of LGBT people. The purpose of the march is to help America connect the dots between the defamatory rhetoric that flows from Focus on the Family and the legislative assault on the civil liberties of LGBT people and their families.
"(If same-sex marriage is allowed) barring a miracle, the family as it has been known for more than five millennia will crumble, presaging the fall of Western civilization itself." - James Dobson, Focus on the Family Newsletter, April 2004 (mailed to over two million people and read on his March 24, 2004 radio broadcast).
"Among dozens of other harmful statements, James Dobson says that families like mine are destroying the institution of marriage, harming children, and posing a threat to American society," says Jeff Lutes, executive director of Soulforce, an organization that uses nonviolent methods to confront anti-gay religious discrimination. "Because of Dobson's wealth, power, and direct ties to the Bush administration, those lies are being used to justify legislative discrimination and bigotry at the local, state and federal level."
On July 17, same-gender couples, families with children, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals and straight friends will undertake a week-long justice march which will commence from the steps of the Colorado State Capitol building. A diverse selection of families from across America will participate in the 65-mile 'relay' style march; each group of families taking turns walking a 4-mile segment during the week until they reach the headquarters of Focus on the Family.
On July 22, actor Chad Allen and Judy Shepard, executive director of The Matthew Shepard Foundation, will lead the crowd in a final 2-mile march from Rampart Park in Colorado Springs to the headquarters of Focus on the Family. The crowd will encircle James Dobson's headquarters, joining hearts and hands in vigil as they peacefully call on him to cease his defamation of the LGBT community. Afterwards, Broadway star Billy Porter will protest in song outside Focus on the Family, with an electrifying jazz concert that celebrates the lives of all people and loving relationships that seek the American dream.

On a more interesting note, Chad Allen, who is the celebrity leader of this event, starred in the movie about the life of Jim Elliot, who was martyred for his faith many years ago.
