re: Focus on the Family is actually pro-LGBTQ *people*

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.

Trannies are mentally ill. Just because psychiatrists don't want to call it a mental illness any more doesn't mean they aren't.
Common sense tells you they are. More than 2 genders? It's all a bunch of made up crap meant to help trannies feel better about themselves.
Guess what. It ain't working. Close to 40 percent of all trannies end up committing suicide - far exceeding the suicide rate of any other group.
Sex change operations are needless and do nothing to stem the tide of tranny suicides either.
In a nutshell, trannies suffer from a similar disorder as anorexic. They simply cannot accept the reality of what they are. Eventually the emotional pain/stress of not being able to reconcile what they feel/think leads a large percentage of them to suicide.
It's a truly sad condition, and appeasing them does not help them.

No one is stoping you from your butt pirate activities. Take your fake outrage someplace else

civil rights? nah. Can you name any that aren't related to marriage (which is extremely logical based on their mission related to traditional marriage).

This isn't accurate. Conversion therapy implies that they believe it can be "cured". That's not what they do. They offer counseling for people who want to live a spiritual life in congruence with God's will.
These is their stance on the subject:
quote:
As an unapologetically Christian organization, we believe sexuality is a gift from God designed to be stewarded according to the principles He has outlined in Scripture. As part of that understanding, we believe in and support the availability of professional counseling in matters of sexuality that is respectful, safe, ethical and responsive to the client’s values and desires.
That right of individuals to seek assistance in living within biblical guidelines is increasingly at risk, as various legislative bodies have or are attempting to criminalize such help. They do so often by citing outlandish examples—real or imagined—of unethical therapy. For the record, we at Focus do not advocate for any therapy that “requires” or promises categorical change or sexual conversion. We especially denounce any practice that shames, degrades, coerces, abuses, or insults individuals with demands to earn basic human acceptance.
God’s love guides our response to this issue. Every human possesses inherent dignity and is of immeasurable worth. Individuals with unwanted homosexual attractions or gender concerns often suffer stress, family strain, depression, anxiety, and questions that are deeply perplexing.
As such, we believe in empowering individuals for health and realistic living toward their goals. For some, this includes therapeutically investigating their sexuality and exploring faith-compatible responses for their individual situation. Of course, we recognize that our values aren’t everyone’s values. But we believe the availability of respectful, safe, ethical counseling in matters of sexuality honors all clients by allowing them to receive meaningful help that aligns with their values.

I agree with this and believe it is a very reasonable position.

Transgender people are most certainly "mentally ill" and that's supported by a ton of clinical opinions. Certainly this is a reasonable opinion.
