Unmasking the Real Group That IS Intolerant
Speaking of angry activists, D.C. homosexuals are up in arms because Mayor Adrian Fenty signed a routine certificate of appreciation for a hard-working volunteer who heads a nonprofit organization. Why all the fuss? Because the honoree is Regina Griggs, who serves as Executive Director of Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays (PFOX). Griggs (herself the mother of an openly homosexual man) heads up a ministry that supports families and educates people on the fact that the homosexual orientation can be changed.
Ironically, homosexual activists- who present themselves as champions of tolerance--can be viciously intolerant when it comes to ex-gays, whose very existence they seek to deny. That's why PFOX has had to fight for equal treatment for ex-gays, even in places where the law bars "discrimination" based on "sexual orientation." Last year in D.C., a court ruled that ex-gays are protected under the city's Human Rights code, setting an important precedent. Still, pro-homosexual groups were outraged when they learned that Mayor Fenty recognized Griggs's "dedication, commitment, and outstanding contributions" leading PFOX. After the uproar, Fenty said, "It shouldn't have happened [but] it won't ever happen again. We apologize." The mayor blamed his staff for the "mistake," but the petulant anti-ex-gay activists aren't satisfied--they want him to formally rescind the honor. This is just part of the overall movement to marginalize Christians in the nation's capital. Call Mayor Fenty today at 202-727-2980 and tell him that the only one who deserves his apology is Regina Griggs.
