OMM Boycott Backfires, Gay Dad's Charity Gets Windfall

READ TIME: 1 MIN.

You'd be hard pressed to find any family with LGBT parents to owe hate group media watchdog organization One Million Moms (OMM) a debt of gratitude. And yet, it happened.

A proverbial "Christmas miracle" has happened for fledgling charity Comfort Cases. The organization which works to support foster kids, was co-founded by Rob Scheer, one of the gay dads at the center of OMM's boycott of American Girl Doll and their parent company Mattel. The OMM boycott called out American Girl for "promoting sin" by featuring a story the Scheer's African American daughter which they saw as "pushing the homosexual agenda to children."

The story of OMM bullying a little girl over her adoptive parents sexuality sparked outrage from all major media outlets, including Fox News. As a result of the boycott and media coverage, the Scheer's foster kid-related charity Comfort Cases, which provides backpacks filled with essentials for foster kids, received an influx of donations from all over the world culminating in a 300 percent increase in revenue.

Thanks to OMM's bigotry, the holidays will be a little brighter this year for hundreds of foster kids who benefit from Comfort Cases. The organization's holiday packing party assembled 500 more cases than the previous year, a 70 percent increase. The total number of cases collected and distributed for year-end 2015 topped 10,000 - 4,000 more than 2014, an increase of 65 percent.
