US: American Family Association asks people to ‘pray for’ anti-gay TV hosts
The American Family Association has urged its followers to “pray for” anti-gay activists the Benham brothers, after the pair were droppedĀ from a TV deal.
Rather than calling for a boycott or anyĀ lobbying action, an Action Alert from the American Family Association today urges supporters to “pray for” the pair’s carers.
The statement reads: “The network axed the duo following pressure from homosexual activists.
“The Benham brothers have been under tremendous stress by homosexual activists and their agenda. They could use some encouragement and prayer from fellow Christians.”
The group asks its followers to “pray for David and Jason Benham, and their families.”
It adds: “Ask God to continue to bless them and keep a hedge of protection around them and their business.”
In 2012, both the brothers led a āprayerā rally outside the Democratic National Convention, intended to stop āhomosexuality and its agenda that is attacking the nationā and ādemonic ideologies taking our universities and our public school systemsā.
David Benham ā who serves on the board of anti-gay group āthe Coalition of Conscienceā ā has also protested pride marches and abortion clinics, campaigned for North Carolinaās same-sex marriage ban, and compared same-sex marriage to Nazi Germany.
