53. FOTF practices willful ignorance as a cover for bigotry. . .
Take this statement they told you:

"that there's zero genetic evidence that being GLBT is something anyone's born with. Her stance, and that of the FOTF ministry in general, is that people become gay or lesbian out of confusion in their early years or out of abuse."

Frankly, I thought confusion was the leading "hook" for fascist organizations like Focus on the Family to rope people into religion. I know you were upset, but I would have asked this "lady" if christians were just generally confused or did God bring them into this world needing a multi-million dollar industry to "convert" them "back" to Him/Her. Whenever someone gives me the line about being "born again" I always tell them that a perfect God had no problem letting me be born correctly the FIRST time. They struggle to respond to that point. . .
