Focus on the Family, a Christian ministry that tries to "convert" gays and lesbians to heterosexuality through its Love Won Out program, will not take federal money used for faith-based programs because the funds come with "strings," its officials say, according to The Denver Post. "Our donations come in small amounts from a whole lot of people, and as long as we serve those people we'll be in existence, and if we stop serving those people, we don't deserve to be in existence," said Tom Minnery, vice president of public policy for Focus

1. Let me guess what some of the 'strings' are

They can't discriminate because of race, religion, or sexual orientation. Or are the 'strings' that they have to know something about the latest scientific evidence that sexual orientation is organic?

2. Every Want Ad for "Focus"....

...in the paper says you have to submit your resume and a "testiment of Christian belief".

They discriminate each and every day.....
