While no suspects have been apprehended, a document appeared on Twitter with an anonymous article by “those who completed this direct action,” sharing that, while they were not acting on behalf of the families of the Club Q victims, they “chose to proceed with this action because of the incredible violence that Focus on the Family continues to perpetuate against the 2SLGBTQIA community.” Their end will correspond to their deeds.” These interviews took place before Daly released his second, longer statement.Will you give a donation to Adventist Today?īelow the sign, 2 Corinthians 11:14,15 was handwritten in black marker: “Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light, so it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. “The donor base limits Focus’ ability to engage in conversations that could put people first and show the love of Christ in a more effective, compassionate way.” (The former employees I spoke with requested anonymity either because they continue to contribute to Focus’ work or because they do not want to jeopardize their relationships there. “The donor base doesn’t allow for the leadership to take a position on these really pivotal issues that could really truly propel the ministry forward, and show the world that we aren’t just this gay-hating organization,” said another former employee.
