Brody's Notes... Family Research Council Launches Massive Fundraiser To Stop "Fake Marriages"

By Brody Levesque | WASHINGTON -- The virulently anti-gay Family Research Center has launched an aggressive new fundraising campaign this week to 'Stop Fake Marriages' in the U. S. According to the FRC, "2012 could be the "tipping point" year in the battle for marriage. The Left has launched the deceptive "Commitment Campaign" to mislead Americans and impose affirmation of same-sex "marriage"-fake marriage- on every state, county, city, school, and workplace. Family Research Council needs your immediate help to tip events for marriage by exposing and opposing the Left's campaign, which could stop fake "marriage" permanently."

The campaign includes e-mail blasts, robo-calls, and a video plus website campaign where the FRC tells its supporters that should same-sex "marriage" be legalised, sex-ed classes from K-12 will be required to teach that same-sex relationships are virtuous, and that anyone who disagrees "such as parents or pastors" are bigots. 

According to the campaign, FRC claims that "one homosexual opinion leader, Daniel Villareal, admitted, "Recruiting children? You bet we are! We wanted to deliberately educate children to accept queer sexuality as normal." FRC experts have documented this agenda, and your donation will help us inform more lawmakers, courts, and parents."

The FRC also claims that "Fake Marriage Means Americans will loose religious freedoms:"

Same-sex marriage at the local level has already been used to shut down Christian adoption agencies in Boston and the District of Columbia. Consider that. If same-sex marriage is imposed nationally, church facilities, family ministries, Christian officials "like county clerks and justices of the peace" and Christian-run wedding businesses and more will be pressured to compromise their views or face crushing legal consequences. Your donation will help FRC experts expose these dangers.

Rounding out the alarmist viewpoints expressed by the Family Research Council, FRC states that "Fake Marriage Means Lives will be ruined by deception."

Decades of social science research shows that same-sex relationships do not have the same level of commitment as traditional marriages. Promiscuity, mental and physical health problems, and other turmoil in same-sex relationships vastly exceed that of heterosexual relationships. That is not message of hate, as homosexual activists claim. Ours is a message of fact-based, loving concern for all, including those trapped in homosexuality. Silence is not loving. Your donation will help FRC speak the truth in love.

The FRC has had a long history of demonising the LGBTQ community, which has led to its inclusion on the Southern Poverty Law Center's list of organisations that espouse hateful views without merit or basis, in many cases by fabrication of data promulgated by individuals or organisations that have themselves been discredited.

In recent weeks as the issue over same-sex marriage has become a focus point for states like Washington and Maryland where legislation has been passed legalising same-sex marriage, coupled with judicial rulings that have overturned anti-gay marriage laws in California along with federal challenges to the Defence of Marriage Act, (DOMA) the Family Research Council has reacted by ratcheting up its extreme rhetoric.

Calls and e-mails by LGBTQNation to the Family Research Council for comment and further clarification on this latest effort went unanswered.
