Focus on the Family will lobby against gay SCOTUS nominee because the nominee is gay
Focus' Tom Minnery has stated that the organization would oppose a gay nominee because said nominee would be, by definition, sinful and immoral:

“It has been reported that we would not oppose any U.S. Supreme Court nominee over their ’sexual orientation.’ Our Judicial Analyst (Bruce Hausknecht) made a statement to this effect in an interview with The Plum Line. To be honest, this is one of those conversations we’d like to ‘do over.’ We can assure you that we recognize that homosexual behavior is a sin and does not reflect God’s created intent and desire for humanity. Further, we at Focus do affirm that character and moral rectitude should be key considerations in appointing members of the judiciary, especially in the case of the highest court in the land. Sexual behavior–be it heterosexual or homosexual–certainly lies at the heart of personal morality.”

3. Funny how they were silent when Opie Roberts was nominated
I mean, I don't know or care whether he's gay or not. But the rumors were flying when this picture circulated.....




...guess the Focus on the Phallus hypocrites only oppose gay Democratic nominees?

6. My thoughts exactly. D'uh!
If they were to back a gay nominee, that would be news.
