Ep. 54 – Focus On The Family

THE SONAR NETWORK
About this episode

In this episode, we talk about the radio show turned Christian media empire and consistently hateful organization Focus on the Family. We discuss it’s founder James Dobson, the history or the organization, its magazines, and its children’s shows.

We also talk about the ways they fight against same sex marriage, same sex couples adopting, teens being ok with who they are, and gay teens not getting bullied.
Also how they’ve been fighting against a woman’s right to choose.

Just a wonderfully terrible organization.

As always we are not experts, we just google this stuff.

Hosted by Trevor Poelman and Damien Doepping
