Dr. James Dobson 'Attacked' by Fellow Christians
Some fellow conservatives are criticizing Focus on the Family founder James Dobson for supporting proposed Colorado legislation to give same-sex couples limited legal protections. The proposal would smooth the way for any two people who cannot marry to register for rights to hospital visits, making medical decisions for each other and property transfers. These rights are already available to two persons but they need lawyers to prepare paperwork. The bill, filed by a Republican opponent of gay rights, competes with a Democratic domestic partnership measure that covers gay couples and, critics say, would treat gay couples essentially the same as married couples under the law. Dobson said he believes in equality under the law but doesn't want to redefine marriage.

I really find (it) very difficult to be attacked in such an unfair way from conservatives who claim to follow the cause of Christ." One critic, Paul Cameron of the Colorado Springs-based Family Research Institute, said Dobson has "come off the tracks" in backing the bill.
