The National Organization for Marriage continues to spin the staged walkout of Focus on the Family's Christian students at one of Dan Savage's recent speaking engagements. This time, the anti-gay group is using the orchestrated event as leverage in an attempt to get the White House to denounce Savage and It Gets Better.
The pre-written letter to President Obama that NOM is asking its sheeple to sign reads:
I am grateful for the White House’s emphasis on creating a safe and civil school environment for children of all ethnic, social and religious backgrounds. This is a goal that we all can share. But I was appalled by the hostile anti-Christian rant recently unleashed at a Southern California high school by Dan Savage, founder of the “It Gets Better” campaign. I see that Savage’s “It Gets Better” campaign is prominently recognized on the White House website as a model for anti-bullying programs across the nation. Is this truly the sort of example that your administration wants to hold up for a model to the nation? It got so bad as Savage cursed the Bible that a number of students quietly got up and walked out of the auditorium. This isn’t the sort of “bully pulpit” our nation needs. I urge you to publicly disavow Dan Savage, making it clear that your administration does not support this sort of bullying, and that respect and civility extend to people of all backgrounds and beliefs.
As video from the event shows, students began their protest before Savage had a chance to even mention religion. And with more evidence coming to light, it's becoming clear that the stunt was designed by Focus on the Family and NOM to create the illusion Christians being "bullied" by the gay community.
Hopefully, NOM's latest campaign will put as much pressure on President Obama is its failed Starbucks campaign put on the coffee brand.
