    Perhaps they canned their webmaster. Focus on the Family’s web site seems to have crashed as well. If HRC or GLAAD crashed, they would probably call it an act of God; Well Hartline would.

    I feel that gay marriage is inevitable in the same way womens rights were inevitable, all we are doing is delaying that day. Why? Does anybody really believe that living near a same sex couple will turn the neighborhood sour? This is not a disease and it is not contagious. And who is to say that marriage is not already a failing system? I for one never plan to marry. Do not get me wrong there is a woman I want to spend my life with but we are not planning on "legally" marrying ever. The divorce rate is ridiculous and religions flawed and people believe in the craziest crap....like same sex marriage being wrong.

    Thats my piece anyways this article says it all for me http://newstrain.com/2008/11/07/244/

    I unfortunately grew up in Colorado Springs and have a very deep dislike for Focus On The Family. I would like to see them investigated, like the Mormon church, for spending money to campaign against Prop 8. Hopefully there tax exempt status would be stripped away. Let's focus on protecting our theology, and putting 20 percent of our work force out of work. That family is sure going to have to learn to focus on how they are going to pay the bills now.
