Antigay Website Listed as Hate Group
By Julie Bolcer

The website of the antigay group Americans For Truth About Homosexuality was recently listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The listing, which appeared in the most recent issue of Intelligence Report, the Law Center's quarterly publication, was the result of lobbying by the Chicago-based Gay Liberation Network, according to a news release from GLN.

Ha, it's about time!

The Southern Poverty Law Center has been on the forefront of the fight against hate groups for a long time now.  Good for them.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...

I love how these self appointed "leaders" create names that appear to be for the good of America, "Americans For Truth", Focus on the Family", Concerned Women of America".

The whole truth, family values, concerned theme plays out in every one of their schemes so they can sucker people into accepting their personal agendas.


"The criteria that the Law Center historically has used to determine whether or not an organization is a hate group is not merely that it opposes legal equality for gays or others, but whether or not they intentionally utilize discredited and slanderous propaganda to spread lies about a group of people,"

Maybe we ought to reconsider and include groups who actively try to deny citizens of their Constitutional rights solely because of prejudice.
When you judge others, you do not define them, you define yourself.

I'm so proud of the advancements being made in IL by groups such as GLN and CGS.

I'm so close to Chicago, yet unable to vote there... Perhaps it's time to move?
