Drew Brees is featured in a video on Youtube in support of Bring Your Bible To School Day.  You can watch the video here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=qPFeyeug99g

The video was later supported and spread online by an organization called Focus on the Family.  That organization has been accused of promoting policies widely viewed as hostile to the LGBTQ community.  Members of that community are now accusing the Saints quarterback of being homophobic.

When Brees was told that Focus on the Family was in support of his video, Brees said Thursday that his only purpose for making it was to encourage Christian students to practice their faith with confidence on National Bring Your Bible to School Day.  He also says he was not aware “at all” that Focus on the Family was associated with anti-gay messaging.  He further stated that he views Christianity as representing love, forgiveness, respecting all and forgiving all.  Bring Your Bible to School Day will be held on October 3rd of this year.
