From their perspective anyway. They are trying to save those people's souls from what they believe are sinful actions ("Man shall not lie with another man").

So they are pro-LGBTQ people but anti-LGBTQ actions.

The prog media outlets who call them "anti-LGBTQ" make it sound like Focus on the Family/Chick-Fil-A/etc hate LGBTQ people. It's a very subtle linguistic sleight of hand used to rally people to their side.

Now, you can disagree with Focus on the Family or Christianity in general if you want. But it's dishonest to say they hate people they don't hate.

You like steak, but Joe thinks eating meat is bad for you, so he lobbies to outlaw meat. Joe is on your side.

Again,

With today's Filth, any disagreement is HATE.

You must not only accept this behavior, but you must also embrace it.

We are at a point in clown world now where even if you are OK with gay marriage, but if you are a man and refuse to date a tranny, you are still a homophobe.

Think about that. If you are a straight man, and refuse to suck a cock, SJWs today will still tell you that you are intolerant.

How ignorant are you? They very much do not like or support LGBTQ people. Here are just a few examples of the crap that organization does....

- Focus On The Family has raised over $515 Million over the past five years, making it one of the most well funded anti-LGBTQ organizations in America. They invest in public education campaigns against LGBTQ equality, while their related organization CitizenLink supports radical anti-LGBTQ candidates who work against basic civil rights and legal protections.

- Focus On The Family promotes the harmful and discredited practice of “conversion therapy,” claiming “just as there are many paths that may lead a person to experience same-sex attractions, there are likewise multiple ways out.” For years, they were behind Love Won Out, a national tour preaching that same-sex attraction is ‘preventable and treatable.’

- In fact, even after the leading national organization promoting “conversion therapy” – Exodus International – shuttered their doors and apologized for the harm they had caused, Focus On The Family continues to endorse junk science rejected by every major medical and mental health organization to this day, blaming molestation, divorce, and straight up “rebellion against societal norms” for people’s sexual orientation.

- Focus On The Family opposes allowing same-sex couples to adopt, saying the children of gay and lesbian parents are “human guinea pigs” in the “same-sex family experiment.”

- Focus On The Family believes that they know better than psychiatrists – actual doctors – when it comes to treating transgender people. They called trans people “mentally ill” suffering from a “devastating condition.” They also believe that living according to their affirmed gender identity ignores reality “like Cinderella in a fantasy world.”

- Focus On The Family accused anti-bullying programs in schools of “promoting homosexuality” and creating “a system ripe for reverse discrimination.” They even created a whole website to help parents fight against programs teaching tolerance towards LGBTQ students.

- Focus On the Family declared that anti- workplace discrimination legislation “must be stopped” because if it passed, employers might just face consequences for firing LGBTQ people for no other reason than their “moral convictions.”

- Focus On The Family wants business owners to have the right to turn away LGBTQ customers just because they believe their religion requires them to oppose their very existence.

Is it really love to pretend that a persons self destructive lifestyle is ok and promote it?
I don't think so.
