The hate group that hosted Trump today was giving away swag bags with antigay stuff

By Jeff Taylor · Friday, October 13, 2017

President Trump spoke at the Values Voter Summit today, an event organized by the Family Research Council, whose anti-LGBTQ activism has earned them the designation of a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Included inside was a flier advertising what it called an “important new book” called The Hazards of Homosexuality, by the anti-LGBTQ group MassResistance. The flier blames the “sexual revolution and mainstreaming of homosexuality” for creating “a public health crisis affecting us all.”

It specifically blames gay and bisexual men in particular as being responsible for the rise in the rates of STDs, and warns of youth being [Note: Read in your best sexploitation movie narrator voice] “increasingly at risk by imitating dangerous ‘gay’ practices.”




What these right-wing nuts don’t ever seem to understand or admit is that they have it exactly backwards. It is their anti-LGBTQ hatred that puts queer youth at increased risk for self-destructive behaviors, as well as less access to resources to help them make better decisions and have better access to care.

Not surprised that these holier-than-though theocrats are plugging this swill at an event like this, nor that Dotard McShitstain is attending the event.
