TechnoratiWhile many within the pro-gay community claim homosexuality is inherent, most within the conservative community believe it is a personal choice – as evidenced through the significant number of individuals who have left their past homosexual lifestyles and adopted heterosexual ones.
The “ex-gay movement” has particularly garnered a number of critics over the harmful nature of some forms of “reparative therapy.”
Dr. Dobson, who founded Focus on the Family in 1977, has been one of the most vocal opponents of gay “marriage” in America and is considered a powerful leader within the conservative evangelical community.
His comments on homosexuality, which are often picked up and blown up by the media, have made him an outstanding target for pro-gay activists.
TWO, which had led a campaign earlier in the year to keep Dobson out of the Hall of Fame, has vowed to protest the National Radio Hall of Fame & Museum’s annual dinner – to be held Nov. 8 in Chicago - over Focus on the Family's induction.
According to The Gazette newspaper in Colorado Springs, where Focus on the Family is based, Dobson plans to attend the Hall of Fame's formal induction ceremony.
Besides "Focus on the Family," the hall inducted radio personalities Art Bell, Howie Carr, Charlie Tuna, and Michael "Mickey" Luckoffi, head of San Francisco radio station KGOAM. Posthumous inductees included disc jockey Dick Whittinghill, and talk show hosts Jesse Cain and Bob Collins.
Voting for the 2008 Hall of Fame inductees this year was open to the general public for the first time, adding to votes generated by all active members of the Museum of Broadcast Communications and/or National Radio Hall of Fame and the over 2,000 radio historians and industry leaders selected to participate.
“Focus on the Family” is reportedly the first faith-based radio program to be inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame.
