Focus on the Family promotes their anti-gay "Day of Dialogue"

This kind of thing is always interesting to me.

If you were to come across this little video, you might think that it's pretty harmless. Candi Cushman, of the innocuous sounding Focus On The Family, tries to present the anti-gay propaganda in a very "polite" and passive-aggressive manner here.

Candi (isn't that a friendly name?) frames issues in the context of helping students "wade through the confusion" regarding bullying and LGBT students in high schools.  To be honest, I don't think there's much "confusion" on behalf of high school students on this issue today.

And isn't the "host" wonderful to continually praise all of the "great stuff" in the Day of Dialogue parenting guide.  You hear from her that it's all so fantastic, it really must be, right?

I think some ultra-conservative groups and parents like to present this information in this manner so it doesn't come across as stridently anti-gay, because that would be "distasteful."

Instead, Focus On The Family phrases their buzz words in a tone that seems just dog-gone friendly and helpful.

It's not. What FOTF is doing is trying to sell their propaganda for their "Day of Dialogue" which actually promotes the right to bully in schools. 

The Day of Silence is a student-led national event on (April 11th this year) that brings attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools. That's a good thing.

What FOTF would do is turn "Day of Silence" around and have you believe that it's primary objective is anti-religion, which it's not.

It's all very insidious. Watch FOTF's little video as much as you can, knowing what the true agenda here is.
