After Diane #2 informed FOTF, Gary Schneeberger (special assistant to Dr. James Dobson for Media Relations) came out and informed us that Dr. Dobson has no desire to talk with us, and Dr. Dobson doesn't want to dialogue (he says Dr. Dobson has heard all of "our rhetoric" before), and isn't interested.  We communicated that we want Dr. Dobson to recant his false statements about gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons, as well as his distortions of the research of professors in his TIME magazine article of December 18, 2006, Two Mommies is One Too Many. Gary replies that Dr. Dobson did not distort the research, and that Dr. Dobson is speaking from what he believes.  Click here to see the interviews with those researchers.  You decide...

When Gary asks us to leave, we continue our act of civil disobedience and sit in the lobby of Focus on the Family Headquarters. Gary then says he is turning us over to another security person.  This gentleman requests that we leave.  We once again communicate that we are there to do Whatever It Takes to bring truth to Dr. Dobson.  We explain that we will not leave until Dr. Dobson has issued a public recanting and apology (which we have previously explained).  He informs us that he will then have to contact the police.  We tell him that we understand. Den Patterson, head of security (who we now consider a friend) then comes out.  He smiles, and we chat for a few minutes, once again explaining that we do not plan to leave.  He says that we can get up and walk out if we choose.  We tell him we are not leaving.  He says, "You know we are going to have to have you arrested."  We tell him that we understand, that we love him, and will not hold it against him. Throughout the day, we explain that nobody ever invited Rosa to the front of the bus, that nobody ever asked African Americans to come eat at the lunch counter, that women and blacks were not "invited" to vote, that interracial marriage was denounced from the pulpit (along with the previous), and that we are not going to ignore that injustice runs rampant from Dr. Dobson's teachings. Question:  How much longer do you think people would have continued having to sit at the back of the bus if Rosa Parks had not said "No more!"  Our community of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and ally friends must be willing to take a stand and say, "No more!"  Each step is important to creating a fair and just society.  Do this for yourself ... do this in HONOR OF your families!  We did.

We are arrested and taken to jail.

Professors and scientists have "come out of the closet" to state that their research has been distorted by Dr. James Dobson (Focus on the Family) after his guest column criticizing Mary Cheney in Time Magazine, where he justified his trashing of gay families by citing the work of these renowned researchers.
