Wells Helps Group Battle Focus on Family

It’s unfortunate that the Associated Press story The Times printed was unable to find the truth of Focus on the Family’s disassociation from Wells Fargo Bank (“Focus on Family Pulling Funds From Bank Over Gay Issue,” Dec. 5).

What it failed to highlight -- conveniently -- is that Wells Fargo actively supported a pro-gay group’s efforts to oppose organizations like ours by using proceeds from our business.

We certainly don’t expect corporate America to do our bidding, but the line must be drawn when our own money is used to fund the fight against the “anti-gay industry” -- better known as those organizations dedicated to the nurture and defense of the family, of which Focus on the Family is one.
