Lesbian pair escorted from Focus property

COLORADO SPRINGS - A lesbian couple faces trespassing charges following a protest Monday at Focus on the Family over founder James Dobson's views on same-sex parents.

Robynne Sapp and Dotti Berry, of Blaine, Wash., said they wanted to see Dobson and demand that he "publicly recant" what they called false statements he made in an essay in a December issue of Time magazine.

The women said they took a guided tour of the Focus grounds, hand in hand, but then sat down on the floor of the lobby and refused to leave until they saw Dobson. Colorado Springs police were called, and the women were escorted off the property, said Focus spokesman Gary Schneeberger.

A court date has been set for March 14, the women said.

The two are members of Soulforce, a gay and lesbian activist organization that has held many protests at the Focus campus.

Dobson's essay in Time, "Two Mommies Is One Too Many," addressed the announcement by Vice President Dick Cheney's pregnant daughter that she intends to raise her child with her lesbian partner.

Protestors Arrested on Focus Property

A same-sex couple was arrested yesterday at the Focus on the Family headquarters in Colorado Springs, after refusing to leave the property until James Dobson agreed to meet with them. The couple, who are members of DefCon advisory board member Mel White’s organization SoulForce, were protesting Dobson’s piece in the December issue of Time Magazine, where he distorted research to support his belief that homosexuals are unfit parents.

Dobson should be arrested for ignorance!!!!!

which the story neglects to mention.

What we need is a James Dobson crash re-edumacation program: how to behave like an American human being, since he and his
republicon christo-fascist cronies obviously do not have a clue.

If so tell me more, please.

That this organization isn't very Christian, it seems that they forgot this passage:


And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.

and lesbians, where would we be? Let's face it, we're all just off the turnip wagon and don't know the ways of the world.

Thank Jesus Jim Dobson and Jerry Falwell and others are there to hold our little hands as we cross the streets of the mean world.

But frankly, Dobson is a known commodity in the idea market. He's a bigot who fudges the facts and twists research to suit his own purposes. This is documented and beyond dispute. He makes a lot of money doing this, and has no reason to change his behavior.

What I fail to understand is why Time magazine turned over a page of very valuable media real estate to Mr. Dobson to pump out his poison without filter or any regard to fairness or balance. That's the beef I have with Dobson's column: That Time magazine gave him space, when he has plenty of other outlets for his mean little squirts of bile.

Dobson doesn't pay taxes on that fief, ya know ... is trespassing a legitimate charge?

How many times has Fred Phelps been arrested?

"out of focus" or fucus.

it even has its own highway sign, and is guarded by people with guns. it is an enormous drain on the city's resources, too. not to mention that the idiot mayor is in dobby's back pocket.

we can no longer refer to our favourite couple "dobby and the hag" now that teddy "I am completely heterosexual" haggard is gone. many of us think that the real reason dobby decided NOT to be part of ted's "spiritual restoration" was that dear old ted knows one too many secrets.

May all these hypocrites and pretenders receive exactly what they deserve.
