Peter Sprigg, One News Now defy logic to attack lgbt families

I hope you will forgive me for not focusing on Mike Huckabee's newest shuck-and-jive attempt to explain his homophobia.

Sorry but the words "Mike Huckabee" and "gay sex" used in the same sentence of paragraph is akin to psychological castration to me.

Instead, allow me to clue you in on something which you may not be aware of.

It would seem that the American Family Association's phony online news site One News Now no longer accepts comments.

I was aware of this for a while but I was waiting for a good moment to talk about it. And a piece published on the site criticizing President Obama for acknowledging lgbt families in his Father's Day proclamation is the perfect time to talk about this about-face by One News Now.

The article is so bad, so inaccurate that I was practically drooling to leave at least one small comment. But unfortunately, I could not.

Still, allow me to spotlight the inherent stupidity and meanness of the piece, which is best shown by this passage:

Peter Sprigg, senior fellow for policy studies at the Family Research Council (FRC), tells OneNewsNow the president should have used the proclamation to celebrate the existence of fathers in the lives of their children rather than promote a controversial political and social agenda.

For the record, that's Peter (we should export gays when we are not criminalizing homosexuality) Sprigg.

But the funny thing is that I thought celebrating the existence of fathers in the lives of their children is exactly what Obama did via his proclamation. Didn't he say the following:

Nurturing families come in many forms, and children may be raised by a father and mother, a single father, two fathers, a step father, a grandfather, or caring guardian. We owe a special debt of gratitude for those parents serving in the United States Armed Forces and their families, whose sacrifices protect the lives and liberties of all American children. For the character they build, the doors they open, and the love they provide over our lifetimes, all our fathers deserve our unending appreciation and admiration.

Sounds like celebrating the existence of fathers to me. So what's the problem.

Oh now I get it. President Obama included gay fathers and that's wrong because we know that gay fathers and lgbt parents in general don't exist even though according to a report by Gary Gates, Lee M.V. Badgett, Jennifer Ehrle Macomber, Kate Chambers of the Urban Institute:

* More than one in three lesbians have given birth and one in six gay men have fathered or adopted a child.

* More than half of gay men and 41 percent of lesbians want to have a child.

* An estimated two million GLB people are interested in adopting.

* An estimated 65,500 adopted children are living with a lesbian or gay parent.

* More than 16,000 adopted children are living with lesbian and gay parents in California, the highest number among the states.

* Gay and lesbian parents are raising four percent of all adopted children in the United States.

After all, who needs facts when you have "Jesus" on your side.
