Tell the Family Research Council That LGBT Rights Are Not Up For Debate
Why this petition matters
The Southern Poverty Law Center, a legendary organization in the fight against organized bigotry, recently designated a handful of anti-gay organizations, including the Family Research Council (FRC), as hate groups. The designation is based on “dissemination of false and demonizing propaganda about gays and lesbians.”
The hate group designation prompted a full-force response from FRC that has included a newspaper advertisement signed by several anti-gay members of Congress, including House Speaker-designate John Boehner. The ad is part of a new campaign called “Start Debating, Stop Hating,” which accuses LGBT groups of resorting to calling them haters without debate.
This postiion tells Tony Perkins, the President of the Family Research Council, that LGBT rights are not for him to debate. LGBT people deserve the same rights and freedoms that Tony Perkins has and that does not need to be debated.
