State 'abstinence' head faces an ethics probe
The supervisor of the Ohio Department of Health’s “abstinence only” sex education program is in hot water over a thwarted attempt to secure a state contract for a company she is involved in.

Valerie Huber, who manages the anti-gay Abstinence Education program, faces an ethics investigation, according to department spokesperson Jay Carey.

The investigation was ordered by health department director Dr. Nick Baird on January 6 after he was tipped off that Huber had become the agent of a for-profit business trying to get a contract with her own department.

Melissa Cox is the former director of marketing and public relations for the Medical Institute for Sexual Health, which advocates “curing” gays through “conversion therapy” and lobbies against condom availability. She has also served as an editor for Focus on the Family’s Physician magazine.

2. Again, please find me some Anti Gay people who aren't involved with
the financial end of it. Just one person who isn't raising oodles of cash, or somehow lining their pockets from all of this crap.

With all this cash raining down upon them, is there any one of these groups who is funding one of their 'we can cure you of gayness with enough prayer' frauds? Tired of being Gay? We can help (but it's Pay for Play - no free rides here)

Tired of all them queers trying to convert your child at daycare? Sign up for our monthly newsletter - ToddlerWatch - preventing lesbian daycare providers since 1976.

Radio time (Stephen "I'm still a big mo" Bennett) and Big Daddy Dobson himself - airwaves of hate raking in million$$$

I'd love to see one of the gay magazines do an in depth article on the entire Anti Gay Industry. I can just see picking up the financial report one day -

last week, Tech stocks were down, housing lost about 1% for the quarter, Financial stocks suffered on lower than forcast earnings; the Hate industry is currently booming as more and more people get frustrated by their portfolio performance and need someone to blame - Colorado based Focus on the Family has issued a revised earnings forecast of 12%, AFA expects to exceed last years revenues by 9 points - In other news, a man walked into a gay bar in Mass last night and pulled out a gun and a hatchet...
