> Just what is the *Christian Right* position on Homosexual conduct? Here's a grand list of their views at: The Religious Right and Anti-Gay Speech: In their Own Words http://www.hatecrime.org/subpages/hatespeech/hate.html Please > explain. It's both a political tool and an industry unto itself. See the following: Homophobia Inc.: Christianist Message of Hate Raises Hundreds of Millions of Dollars - Tax-Free Homophobia has flourished in the Bush era, both as a potent political tool and as an industry unto itself. Many people believe George Bush would have lost Ohio in 2004, and thus a second term, if Karl Rove hadn't made sure there was an anti-gay initiative on the state ballot. In just one year, the top 10 Christianist groups that promote homophobia raised over $400 million in tax-free dollars: * Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) Founder, CEO and Director: Pat Robertson 2004 Revenue: $186,482,060 * Focus on the Family Founder and chairman: Dr. James C. Dobson 2005 Revenue: $137,848,520 * Coral Ridge Ministries Founder and President: Rev. D. James Kennedy 2005 Revenue: $39,253,882 * Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) President, CEO and General Counsel: Alan Sears 2004 Revenue: $17,921,146 * American Family Association (AFA) Founder and Chairman: The Rev. Donald Wildmon 2005 Revenue: $17,595,352 * American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) Founder and President: Pat Robertson, Chief Counsel: Jay Sekulow 2005 Revenue: $14,485,514 * Family Research Council (FRC) Founder: James C. Dobson, President and CEO: Tony Perkins 2005 Revenue: $9,958,115 * Jerry Falwell Ministries Founder and Director: Jerry Falwell (deceased) 2005 Revenue: $8,950,480 * Concerned Women for America (CWA) Founders: Tim and Beverly LaHaye 2005 Revenue: $8,484,108 * Traditional Values Coalition (TVC) Founder and Chairman: The Rev. Louis P. Sheldon 2005 Revenue: $6,389,448 All of these groups use homophobia as a fundraising tool, but while some address a wide range of social issues, four of them Focus on the Family, AFA, FRC, TVC are one-trick ponies that focus all or most of their activities on promoting homophobia. (The late Falwell and CWA arguably could belong to this group too.) These four groups raised $169 million of the revenue in 2005. If fundraising for these four hate groups remains flat each year from 2005 through the end of 2007, they will have raised about $500 million among them in three years. Tax free.
