Anti-Gay Group Attacks Santa Play In New York
Edited on Tue Dec-08-09 11:26 AM by Ian David
Under the leadership of James Dobson, Focus on the Family was infamous for distorting the work of researchers, earning it the nickname, “Focus on the Fallacies”.

Then, the organization was labeled, “Focus on the Foolishness” after Dobson suggested that Sponge Bob was gay. (Yes, the cartoon sponge that lived in a pineapple under the sea)

We must also remember, “Focus on the Fairytale”, the name given the organization after I photographed its “ex-gay” leader John Paulk in a gay bar.

With Dobson retiring, however, it is clear that Focus on the Family is adrift and searching for a new mission. It may have found one in its blistering attack on the play “Santa Claus is Coming Out”.

Instead of helping real families in a time of economic upheaval, the right wing organization is in a tizzy over this comedy that poses the serious question: “What if Santa Claus were actually gay?”

2. I thought the fundies hated Santa & anything else that detracts from Jesus
as the 'Reason for the Season'.

5. I think there was a porn film that already tried that formula
Got a Golden Turkey Award Nomination for "Most Unerotic Concept in Pornography," too.

4. If Santa Claus were gay, I think he'd look more like Ian McKellen
Hey, I'm not slamming him - he'd rock the red suit! :hi:
