CONTRIBUTE TO THE CONTINUED EFFORTS OF STAND UP SPEAK OUT!
Together, let's create a tipping point around the nation, exposing the untruths and toxic rhetoric that Dr. James Dobson continues to spew, as he harms the very families he professes to value. Hang your head out the window and yell, "I'm mad as HELL and I am not going to take it anymore!" Having rid yourself of that trigger by expressing your feelings, now discover non-violent and constructive ways of confronting homophobia and bigotry, both in yourself and in others. Yes, indeed, it is time for us to hold ourselves as accountable as we are holding Dr. James Dobson! (Gosh, how we dislike that part, huh?) (:

You will also find links to the video interviews of two specific researchers, whose research Dr. Dobson cited and distorted in a TIME Magazine article, Two Mommies is One Too Many, to support his claims that same gender couples are not fit to parent. They are standing up and speaking out, saying "No More!" The video interviews of two other researchers are also contained in that newsletter.
