i was taught women didn't deserve the same respect as men because they were not equal to them. this and other "values" were ingrained into my young, absorbant mind from the nursery to youth group. As a female, this contributed to my low self-esteem. my selfesteem, in turn, led to my silence after my rapes (my youth pastor convinced me it was my fault and that i was "ruined") and a relationship with an abusive boyfriend. my experiances drove me to reject christianity as a whole. i would like to give my life back to christ, but i cant let go of my haunting memories.
I am a gay man. Many years ago, I listened to Focus on the Family. They had a news show called 'Family News in Focus.' It was the only thing that I found that addressed homosexuality..albeit in a negative light. Their radio program really worked on me. I nearly killed myself before finally accepting myself as I am. A friend of mine was less fortunate and became obsessed with Bob Larson's 'Talk Back' program and later committed suicide.More specifically, FOTF is remembered, among other things, for its ongoing support for efforts to criminalize homosexuality. If you have any gay friends, and you don't believe they should be deprived of life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness on account of their orientation, then 30 years of FOTF activity is an affront to your world-view. One example among many is that of FOTF support for Oregon's "Amendment 2." Per quotation from SCOTUS case, here,
"Amendment 2 classifies homosexuals not to further a proper legislative end but to make them unequal to everyone else. This Colorado cannot do. A State cannot so deem a class of persons a stranger to its laws. Amendment 2 violates the Equal Protection Clause..." Justice Kennedy of the U.S. Supreme Court writing for the majority in the Romer v. Evans case of (1996).In short, Tebow's "religious" thoughts have political consequences. You cannot use the argument that people should turn the other cheek because Tebow is "just being himself" when that involves people being deprived of their basic human rights. If "Focus" has changed its "focus," it will still take a long while to overcome the product brand it has established with dogged support for efforts such as Oregon's "Amendment 2."
