| Description | The disagreement between the Southern Poverty Law Center and the new groups designated as anti-gay hate groups hit the Washington Post this week.
And while I am happy with the coverage, I am not happy with how these groups are trying to cover their tracks. They are trying to make it seem as if they are being attacked because they have made stands against gay marriage.
The key person pushing this argument is Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council.
Perkins has even had the temerity to demand an apology from the SPLC:
Family Research Council will continue to champion marriage and family as the foundation of our society and will not acquiesce to those seeking to silence the Judeo-Christian views held by millions of Americans. We call on the Southern Poverty Law Center to apologize for this slanderous attack and attempted character assassination.
Let’s be clear about something – the claim that these groups, particularly FRC, are being attacked merely for their stance against gay marriage or their stance against homosexuality is a lie.
FRC in particular has a long history of demonizing the lgbt community. Via studies, briefs, and research papers heavily reliant on junk science and fear tactics, FRC attacked the lgbt community long before discussions of gay marriage even came on the scene. |
