[Sniffs] I'm so proud...

Focus on the Family has cut off their banking relationship with Wells Fargo, because of "the bank’s ongoing efforts to advance the radical homosexual agenda."

Further:

"We at Focus on the Family respect the worth and dignity of every human being. We are not attacking the gay individual, nor are we singling out Wells Fargo employees for censure. We had the opportunity to work with many Wells Fargo staff while in relationship with the bank, and we know firsthand the good job they do. However, we feel that the aggressive agenda of the homosexual movement and its activists is harmful to families, and we believe it is time to stand up and fight that. Our decision is not personal, but principled, and we trust our constituents and others will respect it."

Is it enough to not be the ones directly responsible for the evil that happens to gay people, because so many of us have been taught to feel nausea whenever the subject comes up? Christianity is all about love. "The greatest of these is love." Not faith--if faith tells you something that love contradicts, faith is wrong. Love doesn't tell you to boycott a company because they support fair treatment of their gay employees and customers--of their family.

FoF is next door to my building. I'm proud to work where I do.
