Episode 7: James Dobson Hates Me

Happy pride month, heathens! Today, Jake and Brooke are joined by our first very special guest: Jordan! Together, we are taking a step back to marvel at Dobson's illustrious career as a professional homophobe. We trace Dobson's denial of homophobia, his active homophobia, and the hydra of political organizations he has created. Turns out, sometimes conspiracy theories are true: Dobson literally conspired in secret with others to push homophobic and misogynistic policies at every possible level of government.Works Cited (hyperlinks do not work on every podcast player, my apologies)“A Nation Shaken by the Sandy Hook Tragedy” broadcast by Dobson – Dec 17, 2012After Obergefell“Ballot measures in 11 states, all successful, aided the president’s reelection bid and helped to swing the momentum, for a time, to the side of the anti-gay Right.” - https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/revolution-anti-gay-activists-threaten-uprising-if-supreme-court-approves-marriage-equality/Dr. Dobson's September Newsletter – Sept. 2019Evangelical Broadcaster Seeks “Pro-Family” Lobby by Russell ChandlerFamily Policy Alliance Financial Reports 2020 & 2019Focus on the Family focuses on homosexualsFRC fighting conversion therapy bansFRC’s connection to FPCsGallagher, S. “Where Are the Antifeminist Evangelicals?
