PFOX, Others Angry Over DC Mayor's Letter and Apology
Check out the Mayor's original statement concerning Regina Griggs:
“Regina has served as executive director without pay. Instead, she prefers that donations be used to develop resources for families and teens, to promote unconditional love for all regardless of sexual orientation, and to seek equal access and protection for the ex-gay community,” said Quinlan. “Her dedication is unparalleled.”
Also, Regina Griggs is the mother of an openly homosexual and here is a report from Family Research Center on the issue:
A Sorry Excuse for Intolerance
Speaking of angry activists, D.C. homosexuals are up in arms because Mayor Adrian Fenty signed a routine certificate of appreciation for a hard-working volunteer who heads a nonprofit organization. Why all the fuss? Because the honoree is Regina Griggs, who serves as Executive Director of Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays (PFOX). Griggs (herself the mother of an openly homosexual man) heads up a ministry that supports families and educates people on the fact that the homosexual orientation can be changed.Ironically, homosexual activists- who present themselves as champions of tolerance--can be viciously intolerant when it comes to ex-gays, whose very existence they seek to deny. That's why PFOX has had to fight for equal treatment for ex-gays, even in places where the law bars "discrimination" based on "sexual orientation." Last year in D.C., a court ruled that ex-gays are protected under the city's Human Rights code, setting an important precedent. Still, pro-homosexual groups were outraged when they learned that Mayor Fenty recognized Griggs's "dedication, commitment, and outstanding contributions" leading PFOX. After the uproar, Fenty said, "It shouldn't have happened [but] it won't ever happen again. We apologize." The mayor blamed his staff for the "mistake," but the petulant anti-ex-gay activists aren't satisfied--they want him to formally rescind the honor. This is just part of the overall movement to marginalize Christians in the nation's capital. Call Mayor Fenty today at 202-727-2980 and tell him that the only one who deserves his apology is Regina Griggs.
