The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom Has A Member That Is Part of A Hate Group

The Family Research Council 1 has been listed as a anti-LGBT hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Tony Perkins, Chair of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom2, is president of this organization.

Tony Perkins, serving as chair, was appointed by Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) for a term expiring in 2020.

The videos are titled ‘It Gets Better.’ 3 They are aimed at persuading kids that although they’ll face struggles and perhaps bullying for ‘coming out’ as homosexual (or transgendered or some other perversion), life will get better. …It’s disgusting. And it’s part of a concerted effort to persuade kids that homosexuality is okay and actually to recruit them into that lifestyle. – Tony Perkins, FRC fundraising letter, August 2011

Today[July 18, 2019], the State Department is holding a major international conference on religious freedom — but as long as hate-group leader Tony Perkins is in charge of American efforts, the U.S. will have no credibility on this issue.

In 2015, Perkins argued that Muslims do not deserve religious liberty because Islam is “incompatible with the Constitution.” He has also said that pro-LGBT clergy should not have the religious liberty to conduct LGBT weddings. Perkins is clearly unfit for his new role as chair of the U.S. committee on religious freedom. Worse yet, he’s chairing the committee while remaining president of the Family Research Council — which the Southern Poverty Law Center has designated an anti-LGBT hate group since 2010. Faithful America has beaten Perkins before, and we can do it again. Our grassroots advocacy convinced TV producers to stop booking him to represent Christianity. Now we must tell Congress to protect religious freedom from his hateful agenda. 4

Faithful America is encouraging their members and friends to “fight hatred” by signing their petition which can be done by Clicking Here.

  1. Southern Poverty Law Center – The Family Research Council (FRC) bills itself as “the leading voice for the family in our nation’s halls of power,” but its real specialty is defaming gays and lesbians.
  2. United States Commission on International Religious Freedom – USCIRF is an independent, bipartisan U.S. federal government commission, the first of its kind in the world, dedicated to defending the universal right to freedom of religion or belief abroad.

  4. Faithful American, July 18, 2019 – Email Broadcast – Add your name: Hate-group leader who says Islam is “incompatible with the Constitution” is unfit to lead U.S. efforts on religious freedom
