Good Company

The "hate list" keeps growing:

The Colorado Springs-based organization, founded in 1977 by Dr. James Dobson to support Christian families, now joins other conservative groups like the Family Research Council and Alliance Defending Freedom on the SPLC’s list, which critics argue often targets organizations for their traditional views on marriage and sexuality. In its “Extremist Files” profile, the SPLC claims that Focus on the Family “has long relied on its biblical worldview strategy to push back against LGBTQ+ progress and reproductive rights.” The organization’s online publication, The Daily Citizen, was specifically criticized for allegedly promoting “anti-trans pseudoscience” and supporting conversion therapy, which the SPLC labels as harmful. The SPLC also pointed to Focus on the Family’s opposition to same-sex marriage and its advocacy for traditional family structures as evidence of its “extremist” stance. Glenn T. Stanton, director of Global Family Formation Studies at Focus on the Family, responded to the designation with defiance. “To be honest, our reaction was, ‘What took them so long?'” Stanton told The Christian Post. “We are honored to be listed alongside so many other great organizations like Alliance Defending Freedom and Family Research Council. The SPLC’s list is little more than a fundraising tool, and their name-calling doesn’t bother us.”

They will wear it with pride...
