Reports on the numbers in Colorado were varied: between 500 and 1,000 in Denver ; 300 in Fort Collins, a hundred in Colorado Springs; several hundred in Boulder; two dozen in Aspen. The numbers weren’t huge, but the passion — in response to California’s anti-gay Proposition 8 — has been tremendous.
UPDATE: Focus on the Family announced this afternoon that 202 jobs will be cut companywide — an estimated 20 percent of its workforce. Initial reports bring the total number of remaining employees to around 950.
Focus on the Family is poised to announce major employee layoffs today from its Colorado Springs-based ministry and media empire. The cutbacks come just weeks after the group pumped more than half a million dollars into the successful effort to pass a gay marriage ban in California.
Critics are holding up the layoffs, which come just two months after the last round of dismissals in the organization, as a sad commentary on the priorities of the families on which the ministry is truly focusing.
