More Layoffs For Focus On The Family

The anti-gay Christian group Focus On The Family, which has laid off hundreds of employees in recent years, is about to go through another round of cutbacks. According to the Colorado Gazette, another 100 bigots get their pink slips today.

“We are still working out the details of fitting our FY ‘11 budget to the figure our board of directors established,” Schneeberger wrote. “As soon as those decisions are final — we’re aiming for next week — we’ll share them with our ministry family first and then with our constituents and friends in the media.” In recent years, Focus has struggled to meet its budget. Even though the organization cut its budget from $160 million in fiscal 2008 to $138 million in fiscal 2009, it still suffered a $6 million shortfall. Schneeberger said last September that the deficit was largely due to the loss of donations from small- to medium-sized businesses. Donations from families has remained steady, he said.

7. No, never happen. These cretins are a lost cause and the sooner they disappear from society,

the better.

4. aawwww

poor little busybodies peeking in everyone else's bedroom and living room! I really hope they pick up speed on the way to hell and bounce when they hit rock bottom.

It's only fitting that karma pay them a visit.

5. and colorado springs has had massive budget cuts, so public services are basically in the tank

so they won't be getting a lot of help--and the whole job market here just sucks.

and couple that with the fact that quite a number of companies left because of the intolerant atmosphere that is CS, and. . .

Just a sign, though.
