• Group blames James Dobson honor for troubles at Museum of Broadcast Communications

  Our October 24 blog "Protesters Don't Want Focus on the Family's James Dobson in Radio Hall of Fame" told the tale of DumpDobson.com, a website that decried the planned induction of JD in the Chicago-based Museum of Broadcast Communications' National Radio Hall of Fame. These efforts failed, and Dobson was enshrined. But now the Museum is being forced to sell its half-finished headquarters building -- and Truth Wins Out, an organization affiliated with the aforementioned campaign, believes the

James Dobson's February decision to step down as chairman of Focus on the Family doesn't mean the organization is abandoning its ideological agenda. Indeed, his minions are as busy as ever attacking governmental actions that don't represent Focus on the Family values, including pretty much anything having to do with homosexual rights.

• Focus on the Family: Gay people still can be fixed

  Focus on the Family's James Dobson.​The American Psychiatric Association's rejection of therapy intended to turn gay people straight, announced yesterday, is unlikely to change the views of Focus on the Family, the Colorado Springs-based organization, founded by James Dobson, that's made "reorientation" one of its most prominent missions. Indeed, the outfit has long been defensive about criticism of this practice, as is made clear by the following introduction to a website section entitled

• Focus on the Family getting out of the fixing-gays biz

  Focus on the Family's James Dobson.​"Focus on the Family: Gay People Can Still Be Fixed," a blog published last week, made the point that the Colorado Springs-based, James Dobson-founded evangelical organization continues to hold that homosexual proclivities can be "cured" through therapy despite the American Psychological Association's blanket excoriation of such practices. Days later, Focus confirms that it's getting rid of Love Won Out, a program intended to straighten out gays, transfe

Sad?​Word that Focus on the Family founder James Dobson would stop producing his trademark radio show and cut the cord between him and the organization in February likely spurred cheers among people whose vehicles sport one of those "Focus on Your Own Damn Family" bumperstickers. But Focus supporters feel very differently, according to Gary Schneeberger, the organization's spokesman. "We've been getting e-mails and phone calls from people sayin
