to Drew Brees. Many good people in New Orleans and Louisiana hold Drew Brees in the highest regard because he has not only brought fame to NOLA but shown real love to his hometown and exemplified the kind of family man we all admire. This is why there is so much distress and sadness over his defense of Focus on the Family and their hateful views about LGBTQ brothers and sisters who are not considered part of "the Christian family.". He is saying that it makes no difference because he lives and preaches love for all people, no matter their orientation. Surely he knows that it does make a difference as he has been involved with Focus on the Family since 2010 and the cruel legislation they have supported. I hope you will send your letter to Drew Brees and to the Times Picayune New Orleans Advocate.
