Colorado Springs, Colo., May 1, 2005 / 22:00 pm
On Sunday, nearly 1,000 people turned out outside Focus on the Family’s Colorado Springs headquarters to protest the Christian group’s stance on homosexuality.
The gay-advocacy group, Soulforce, who called Focus and its president James Dobson, a danger to itself and to the country, organized the three-hour protest.
Jacob Reitan, Soulforce's youth director said that, "Focus on the Family does not focus on families. They teach from a theology that is morally bankrupt…It teaches mothers and fathers to reject their gay sons and their lesbian daughters, and it has to end. We cannot go on any longer dividing our families."
