On the morning of Feb. 3, President Barack Obama addressed the National Prayer Breakfast, an annual event sponsored by The Fellowship - also known as The Family - where he discussed his prayers for recovery for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), an end to violence in Egypt and his personal faith. Outside the Washington Hilton, however, Get Equal and a handful of activists held a "Breakfast Without Bigotry" - which Get Equal described on Facebook as an event to "protect our lives and speak up for those who can't for fear of imprisonment and murder" - to protest The Family's sponsorship of the event.
As The Family's anti-gay record becomes more widely known, particularly its work in Uganda, the National Prayer Breakfast has become increasingly controversial.
