DumpDobson.com Launched
Now before anyone asks why I'm posting this to TRANS news, let's remember that Dobson and focus on the family are specifically going after gender equality in this country and verbally attacking transgender and transexual people in their efforts.

TWO Launches New Website, DumpDobson.com, Calling on the Radio Hall of
Fame to Withdrawal Honors From Focus on the Family's James Dobson
Coalition to Protest Awards Dinner if Undeserved Award Is Not Rescinded

NEW YORK, Sept 30, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- TruthWinsOut.org
(TWO) launched a new website today, http://www.DumpDobson.com, that
calls on the Museum of Broadcast Communications to reverse its
decision to honor Focus on the Family's James Dobson in its Radio Hall
of Fame. Unless the museum withdraws its pledge to induct Dobson, TWO
will join Equality Illinois and the Gay Liberation Network to protest
the awards ceremony, Saturday, Nov. 8 (5:30 PM - 7:30 PM), at the
Renaissance Chicago Hotel.
"There is still time to reverse the reckless and irresponsible
decision to honor James Dobson in the Radio Hall of Fame," said Truth
Wins Out's Executive Director Wayne Besen. "It is simply
unconscionable that the Museum is giving its imprimatur to a demagogue
who has profited from divisive and discriminatory rhetoric. If the
museum wants to regain its respect and credibility, it will choose to
dump Dobson."
"We believe that you and your associates at the museum must be aware
of Dobson's contribution to anti-gay hate, and yet you chose to
ignore, or perhaps even applaud, his harm to our community," wrote
Andy Thayer, co-founder of the Chicago-based Gay Liberation Network in
an open letter to Bruce DuMont, president of the Museum of Broadcast
Communications. "Museums should be places that celebrate the best of
human endeavor, not the worst."
Dobson's ugly rhetoric is so polarizing that former House Majority
Leader Dick Armey (R-TX) said that, "Dobson and his gang of thugs are
real nasty bullies." Focus on the Family co-founder Gil Alexander
Moegerle said that, "I believe Dobson-style politics have been inept,
simplistic, exclusionary, divisive and alarmingly sectarian ... James
Dobson's political style has been one of relentlessly demonizing his
adversaries."
Dobson told The Daily Oklahoman on Oct. 23, 2004 that, "Homosexuals
are not monogamous. They want to destroy the institution of marriage.
It will destroy marriage. It will destroy the Earth." Dobson also told
the Daily Oklahoman that Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) is "a God's people
hater. I don't know if he hates God, but he hates God's people."
To fight back against this offensive decision, DumpDobson.com is
asking fair-minded people to take four actions.
1) E-Mail Radio Hall of Fame CEO Bruce Dumont, brucedumont@museum.tv, and
urge him to withdraw Dobson's honor.
2) Sign our letter to the Radio Hall of Fame urging them to reverse their
foolhardy decision to celebrate Dobson's shameful and ignoble career.
3) If you live in the Chicago area, please sign up to participate in our
protest.
4) Donate to Truth Wins Out to help us fight back
In the past two years, at least seven researchers have accused Dobson
of manipulating or cherry picking their results to back his anti-gay
teachings. Letters and videos documenting the concerns of these
respected professors can be viewed on http://www.DumpDobson.com.
Dobson also profits from intolerance. He founded a ministry, Love Won
Out, that promises to "cure" homosexuals -- even though the so-called
"ex-gay" leader of Love Won Out, John Paulk, was photographed in a gay
bar. Dobson continues to promote dishonest psychological theories
about gay people that are rejected by every respected medical and
mental health association in America, including the American
Psychological Association and the American Psychiatric Association.
Truth Wins Out, which operates http://www.DumpDobson.com, is a
non-profit organization that counters right wing propaganda, exposes
the "ex-gay" myth and educates America about gay life. For more

Network is a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered direct action
group.
