Drew Brees - Focus on the Family is a hate group Accepts LGBT 

Drew Brees has officially caved in to the "LGBT Mafia" and has rejected the Bible's teaching on homosexuality. In this shocking interview he even went along with the idea that an organization that promotes the traditional family is a hate group.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has faced some tough opponents on the field, but now he’s staring down one of the toughest — the LGBT lobby and its media allies — simply for encouraging kids to take their Bibles to school for a day.

Brees, a professing Christian, recorded a 22-second video for Focus on the Family’s Bring Your Bible to School Day campaign, which encourages Christian public-school students to take their Bibles to school on October 3.

“Hey, guys,” Brees says in the video. “Drew Brees here. One of my favorite verses in the Bible is 2 Corinthians 5:7: ‘For we live by faith, not by sight.’ So I want to encourage you to live out your faith on Bring Your Bible to School Day and share God’s love with friends. You’re not alone.”

For those few seconds of asking kids to take their Bibles to school, Brees has come under fire from the LGBT crowd. “The criticism levied at Brees in the aftermath appeared to have little to do with the message, but with the organization it was tied to,” observed USA Today. “A link at the bottom of the video directs viewers to bringyourbible.org, a website published by Focus on the Family,” a Christian organization that, in keeping with the Bible and the historic faith, believes homosexual behavior to be sinful and urges Christians who are tempted by same-sex desire to live chastely.

USA Today’s headline, in fact, exemplifies this trend: “Saints QB Drew Brees defends himself after appearing in video produced by anti-LGBTQ group.” Likewise, Newsweek titled their piece “Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints Quarterback, Records Video Produced by Anti-Gay Group Focus on the Family.” Out magazine chose “NFL Quarterback Appears in Commercial for Anti-Gay Extremists” for their headline, and Big Easy magazine settled on “Drew Brees Records Video for Anti-LGBT Religious Organization.”

The unapologetically left-wing Big Easy tweeted twice about the subject, once claiming that Focus on the Family is “a strong promoter of the dangerous ‘conversion therapy’ practice” and later introducing the hashtag #SaintsDontHate because of Brees’ “commercial for an anti-LGBTQ group.”

Not everyone took to Twitter to bash Brees, however.

Representative Jim Banks (R-Ind.), for example, tweeted, “The relentless assault on Christians must stop.”

“It’s disgraceful that Drew Brees’s encouragement to kids to share God’s love with their friends is turned into hate-mongering by the Left,” he told the Daily Caller.

New England Patriots tight end Benjamin Watson tweeted: “Have done plenty of work with [Focus on the Family] and will continue to. No problem speaking up for my friends when they are being slandered.”

Brees didn’t remain silent, either. According to USA Today, he “strongly defended himself” Thursday. In a video posted on Twitter, he said the allegations against him are “completely untrue,” and in an open discussion with reporters, he pointed out that the headlines about him have been “not … very fair.”

Things got a little iffy, however, when Brees took up the matter of Focus on the Family’s stance on LGBT issues. “I was not aware any of the things [others] said about them lobbying for anti-gay [causes] … any type of messaging or inequality or any type of hate type related stuff I was not aware of that at all,” he said. “Because I know that there are, unfortunately, Christian organizations out there that are involved in that kind of thing and to me that is totally against what being a Christian is all about. Being a Christian is love, it’s forgiveness, it’s respecting all, it’s accepting all.”

It is also about upholding biblical teaching, which means, yes, accepting all people but also discouraging them from sinning — and there is no question that the Bible defines homosexual conduct as a sin. Being a Christian additionally means opposing movements, such as the LGBT lobby, that both encourage people to sin and punish those who disagree with them.

Brees did nothing wrong, and much right, in recording his video for Bring Your Bible to School Day. But his haste to distance himself from Focus on the Family because of its opposition to the LGBT movement suggests the quarterback’s faith may be in danger of being sacked by the forces of sexual libertinism.

‘I Don’t Support Groups that Promote Inequality,’ NFL’s Drew Brees Says After Focus on the Family Ad Questioned

NEW ORLEANS, La. — New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees took to social media on Thursday to state that he “does not support groups that discriminate … or promote inequality” after being criticized by homosexual advocates for recording an advertisement for Focus on the Family’s “Bring Your Bible to School Day.”

Brees was addressing an article published by Big Easy Magazine with the headline “Drew Brees Records Video for Anti-LGBTQ Religious Organization.”

The piece stated that while it is not surprising that Brees would support Bring Your Bible to School Day as a Christian, the liberal publication found it “odd” for him to “support of a religious group known to be one of the most well funded anti-LGBT organizations in the country.”

“Focus on the Family supports and promotes the practice of ‘conversion therapy,'” the article, written by Editor-in-Chief Jenn Bentley, claimed. “Focus on the Family has also regularly fought against anti-discrimination practices protecting the LGBTQ+ community.”



She noted that Brees had previously recorded an anti-bullying video that was featured on The Ellen Show, and because of his position, he was once named Ellen’s “favorite quarterback.” Ellen DeGeneres is well-known as being a lesbian.

“[Focus on the Family] seems an odd group for a person who espouses those views to support,” Bentley opined.

She was referring to a short video posted to social media last Thursday in which Brees shared his favorite Scripture and encouraged youth to “live out your faith on Bring Your Bible to School Day and share God’s love with friends.” The video is still accessible on Focus on the Family’s Facebook page.

Because of those questioning his decision to appear in the advertisement, Brees recorded a video stating that he believes loving one’s neighbor means accepting all and that he does not support groups that “discriminate” or “promote inequality.”

“There’s been a lot of negativity spread about me in the LGBTQ community recently based upon an article that someone wrote with a very negative headline that I think led people to believe that I was somehow aligned with an organization that was anti-LGBTQ,” Brees said. “I’d like to set the record straight.”

“I live by two very simple Christian fundamentals, and that is: Love the Lord with all your heart, mind and soul, and love your neighbor as yourself,” he outlined. “I think the first one is very self-explanatory. The second one, love your neighbor as yourself, what does that mean to me? That means love all, respect all, and accept all. So that is actually how I live my life.”

Brees said that he tries to live by that concept with “all people, no matter your race, your color, your religious preference, your sexual orientation [or] your political beliefs,” and that he was simply recording an advertisement encouraging youth to participate in Bring Your Bible to School Day.

“So, I’m not sure why the negativity spread or why people tried to rope me in to certain negativity. I do not support any groups that discriminate or that have their own agendas that are trying to promote inequality. Okay?” he said. “So, hopefully that has set the record straight and we can all move on because that is not what I stand for.”

According to Sports Illustrated, Brees later told reporters that he was not aware the ad was for an organization that was “lobbying for anti-gay, any type of messaging for inequality of any type of hate-type related stuff.”

“[The ad] was not promoting any group, certainly not promoting any group that is associated with that type of behavior. Because I know that unfortunately there are Christian organizations out there that are involved in that kind of thing, and to me, that is totally against what being a Christian is all about,” he asserted.

As previously reported, the popular fast food chain Chick-fil-A made similar remarks when it was criticized for donating to Christian pro-family organizations, which at one time included Focus on the Family.

“Recent coverage about Chick-fil-A continues to drive an inaccurate narrative about our brand,” the company said this past April. “We want to make it clear that our sole focus is on providing delicious food and welcoming everyone — not being a part of a national political conversation. We do not have a political or social agenda.”

“More than 145,000 people from different backgrounds and beliefs represent the Chick-fil-A brand. We embrace all people, regardless of religion, race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity.”

Chick-fil-A further noted that it had discontinued giving to one charity “after a blog post surfaced that does not meet Chick-fil-A’s commitment to creating a welcoming environment to all.”
