FocusontheFamily cuts ties with Wells Fargo
Wells Fargo had the audacity to make a contribution that would "advance the radical homosexual agenda." And that just got ole dobson's Depends all in a wad.

http://www.family.org/welcome/press/a0038760.cfm

Just to be clear about dobson's organization goals, this was offered:

- We are not attacking the Gay Individual
- Our decision is not personal, BUT PRINCIPLED!

Just a downtrodden little "principled" christian organization trying to get by and doing its best with slick press releases to hide its hate. I don't bank with Wells Fargo but I do appreciate them giving money to GLAAD. Let us all pray for james dobson so that his depends becomes unwadded and he can live to hate another day.

2. Good. Wells Fargo has my car loan.
I wouldn't want to be making an indirect donation to Dobson every month.

4. I found this line especially offensive:
"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."

Who in the hell do these people think they are?
