MFI Employs Scare Tactics in Anti-Trans “Bathroom” Ads
The Massachusetts Family Institute, an affiliate of Focus on the Family, has started airing radio ads employing scare tactics targeting “An Act Relative to Gender-Based Discrimination and Hate Crimes.” The blatantly misleading ads, which are airing twice daily on WBZ-AM, describe HB1728 as a bill that will “open up all Massachusetts public restrooms, locker rooms and emergency shelters to anyone, of either sex”. They ask listeners to call members of the Judiciary Committee and demand a ‘no’ vote on the act.
