Hate Group Celebrates Making SPLC’s Hate Group List

May 31, 2025 Christianists, Hate Groups

The Christian Post reports:

The far-left civil rights organization Southern Poverty Law Center has added the conservative Evangelical parachurch ministry Focus on the Family to its list of “anti-LGBTQ+ hate groups,” joining similar organizations that advocate for traditional beliefs on sexuality and family. Glenn T. Stanton, director of Global Family Formation Studies at Focus on the Family, told The Christian Post that he was “glad to be listed with so many other great organizations.”

“To be honest, our reaction was ‘What took them so long?'” he replied. “So many great organizations have been on their ‘hate’ list for so many years — Alliance Defending Freedom, Family Research Council, American Family Association and so many others. We are honored to be listed amongst them because the SPLC’s list is really just a silly fundraising tool for them. Them calling us names doesn’t bother us at all.”

Focus On Family last appeared here in 2022 when president Jim Daly [photo] reported that the group’s headquarters had been defaced with graffiti that blamed them for the mass shooting at the Colorado Springs LGBTQ bar, Club Q.

Focus On The Family regularly screams about Pride flags in public schools at the same time that they hold an annual nationwide “Bring Your Bible To School Day.”

In 2018, 16 red states signed a Supreme Court petition calling for legalizing the firing of LGBTQ Americans because Jesus. The author of that Supreme Court brief was the former head of Nebraska chapter of Focus On The Family, was then Nebraska’s deputy attorney general.

Also in 2018, Focus On The Family founder James Dobson called for a national day of fasting and prayer to protect Trump from impeachment.

However, in 2016 Dobson had railed against “heathen” Trump, declaring that a primary vote for anyone other than Ted Cruz was really a vote for Trump.

Dobson is perhaps best known here for his regular attacks on George W. Bush’s “immoral” PEPFAR program against HIV/AIDS in Africa, which has been credited with saving millions of lives.

Or maybe we know Dobson best for blaming mass shootings at public schools on the “LGBT movement closing in on the God-inspired and established institution of the family.”

What DID take them so long?
