James Dobson, the evangelical founder of Focus on the Family, and advisor to three presidents (Reagan and the Bushes), has died at age 89.
I do not mourn this disseminator of hate—he denounced President Clinton yet supported convicted sexual felon Donald Trump.
He vilified gays, same-sex marriage, and transgender equality, branding the gay rights movement “a particularly evil lie of Satan.”
In 2004, he absurdly warned that legalizing same-sex marriage would open the door to “marriage between a man and his donkey.”
His propagating “conversion therapy” continues to do irreparable harm.
At its peak, his radio broadcasts aired on 1,500 stations, reaching some 500,000 listeners weekly, while his 70 books, many still in print, sold an estimated 50 million copies.
He died a millionaire.
