WASHINGTON, D.C. – After Massachusetts congressman Barney Frank announced that he will not seek reelection next year, American Family Association (AFA) spokesman Bryan Fischer decided to celebrate Frank’s retirement by attacking the congressman for being gay.
According to Right Wing Watch, on “Focal Point,” Fischer claimed that Frank may have used his prominent position to “influence” other men into becoming gay who may have later contracted AIDS. “This is a dangerous, risky, immoral, unhealthy lifestyle, and Barney Frank has been an open practitioner of a lifestyle that is condemning one young man after another to an early grave,” Fischer said. “This is not somebody to admire, this is not somebody to honor.” Fischer went on to say that Frank “modeled a lifestyle which is really a death-style,” wondering, “Who knows how many people were drawn or encouraged in some way by Barney Frank’s example to dabble in a lifestyle that eventually cost them their health and maybe even cost them their lives.”

GROVE CITY, OH – The American Family Association has called for a boycott against Old Navy clothing stores because the store is planning to sell shirts to benefit the anti-suicide, anti-bullying “It Gets Better” campaign.
Buster Wilson, the managing director of AFA’s American Family Radio, said that “this is very irresponsible for Christians to go to Old Navy” because “when you support them you are supporting what God calls an abomination to Him.”
The AFA’s most recent boycott against Home Depot failed. The organization was against the Atlanta, Georgia-based company’s sponsorship of gay pride parades.

ATLANTA, GA – Home Depot, which has been the target of a boycott sponsored by the American Family Association in response the Home Depot’s participation in numerous gay pride parades and festival, has told the AFA to “take a hike” and recommitted to promoting diversity.
According to the AFA, the boycott has been running for months, but last week the AFA’s Executive Vice President, Buddy Smith, appeared at the company’s board meeting and vowed to stop shopping at Home Depot until the company decides to “remain neutral in the culture war.”
