Anti-gay hate group Focus on the Family has been implicitly teaching bullies that beating up gay kids is cool with god for years. But this year's preparation for its annual "Day of Dialogue" (that coincides and contradicts GLSEN's yearly anti-bullying event, "Day of Silence") takes FoF's pro-homophobia message even further.
Check out the gasping-ly anti-gay and anti-children video for the 2013 "Day of Dialogue" after the break.

Though we could put these clips on mute and still be satisfied by the hotness that is Matt Bomer and his hubby, Simon Halls (not to mention a small cameo by Joe Manganiello), we'd be missing out on the great message that they convey as they accept GLSEN's 2012 Inspiration Award.
The Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network honored the gorgeous duo who happen to be dads to three kids.
See what what they had to say after the jump!

We initially clicked on gay comedian Todd Glass' PSA for the Gay, Lesbian, & Straight Education Network expecting a laugh.
Yeah, no laughs.
This is decidedly unfunny, but in 30 seconds it packs a very powerful punch.
Check out the PSA (part of GLSEN's "Think Before You Speak" campaign) after the jump.
