The Southern Poverty Law Center has long maintained a list of hate groups, including what is now fourteen anti-gay hate groups listed on its web site. Now, the SPLC’s Spring 2010 print edition of the Intelligence Report goes even further, with a listing of 15 anti-gay web sites. They include:
Abiding Truth Ministries (Scott Lively) *
America Forever *
Americans for Truth about Homosexuality (Peter LaBarbera)
American Vision (Gary DeMar) *
Article8.org
Biblical Family Advocates *
Chalcedon Foundation (Founded by R. J. Rushdoony, headed by his son Mark Rushdoony) *
Chalcedon Store
Faithful Word Baptist Church (Steven L. Anderson) *
Family Research Institute (Paul Cameron) *
H.O.M.E.: Heterosexuals Organized for a Moral Environment *
MassResistance *
Traditional Values Coalition (Lou Sheldon, Andrea Lafferty) *
Watchmen On the Walls (Scott Lively, Ken Hutcherson, Alexey Ledyaev, Vlad Kusakin.) *
Web sites marked with an asterisk are also organizations listed by the SPLC as anti-gay hate groups. As far as I have been able to determine, the SPLC’s list of anti-gay hate web sites is not available on the web. Their list of anti-gay hate groups however is on the web and also in the print edition with the list of web sites. Additional anti-gay hate groups not included in the list of hate web sites are:
School of Christian Activism
American Forever Foundation (Listed separately from America Forever)
While LaBarbera maintains a 501(c)(3) organization called Americans for Truth about Homosexuality complete with a board of directors, his organization is among a small handful that escaped being listed as a hate group despite running a web site identified as a hate site. Without addressing LaBarbera specifically, the Intelligence Report explains the discrepancies by saying that groups listed in both lists “actively promote hate beyond the mere publishing of Internet material.”
