Jennifer Chrysler, executive director of Family Equality Council, sent an email to members alerting them to a major bungle by the popular entertainment service, TiVo.
In her email to members - Jennifer writes, "I just found out that TiVo, the home entertainment company servicing millions of families nationwide, is working with James Dobson's Focus on the Family on a "SuperDad Essay Contest" for Father's Day. As you can imagine, Focus on the Family is only looking for one type of "super" dads and they certainly are not part of our community. That a national company many of our families send checks to each month would sponsor a Father's Day contest with Focus on the Family is horrendous. I need you - all of you - to help us respond.
"I won't often ask you to visit Focus on the Family's website, but today I am. The Family Equality Council is organizing a response to this discriminatory contest, asking you to nominate yourself or the GBTQ dads in your life. To do so, you have to visit the website, sign up for their parenting forums (message boards), and submit your nomination (100 words or less) through the boards. I encourage two-dad families to submit joint stories, highlighting the greatness of both dads in one entry!"

We all know how nutso Focus On the Family is, but I'm a bit surprised at TiVo for this. What were they thinking? As a TiVo subscriber, they will definitely be hearing from me on this act of stupidity.
