The Family Research Council sets aside time to scare people about gays, sex, and children

I will wager that FRC is attacking how schools are acknowledging the existence of same-sex parents and gay families raising children.

Attacks on our lives and families, though less successful than it would have been a few years ago, are still nonetheless vile. And should always be remembered and brought up every time FRC plays the martyr while pushing its false idea of "religious liberty."
