Message from Ron Prentice

Especially in recent days, horrendous acts of aggression upon homosexuals have been reported in the press. With attacks ranging from gang violence, to social media exposure, to a street assault motivated by a T-shirt slogan, a person’s homosexual orientation was at the center of these incidents.

California Family Council denounces any and all attacks upon homosexuals.  

CFC believes that every person is created in the image of God and that all human life is to be respected and valued. Gender identity is never cause for provoking humiliation or assault on a person. 

As you know, pro-homosexual activists take great exception to CFC’s work to pass Proposition 8. However, Prop 8 had a singular purpose: it strengthened traditional marriage’s definition by placing it into the California Constitution. Our reasons for doing so include the benefit to children and society of mother/father families, the protection of the will of the people as demonstrated by their vote, and the importance of parents – not public school curricula – imparting moral values to their children.

The work to pass Proposition 8, and now to defend it in the Courts, has not and will never be targeted at the homosexual population. We may never convince all homosexuals of our sincere concern for their well-being, but we cannot remain silent in the face of heinous attacks upon them.

Please join in denouncing such persecution, pray for its end, and “love your neighbor as yourself.”
