Hate Group Leader Calls on Trump to Lead Witch-Hunt of Pro-LGBT Officials

Trump needs to make clear “'activists' within the State Department promoting" pro-LGBT policies "will be ferreted out and will be replaced"
Hate Group Leader Calls on Trump to Lead Witch-Hunt of Pro-LGBT Officials

Tony Perkins is the leader of a hate group and it comes as no surprise then that he looks to Trump to push his own hate-filled agenda. According to Perkins, writing at FRC’s “Washington Update,” “Foreign officials have complained about the strong arming by the State Department to forcing them to accept its liberal view on social issues.”

And he wants Trump to do something about it: time for a witch-hunt. Because letting people act in ways contrary to his religious beliefs is, for Perkins, somehow an attack on religious freedom. Perkins calls it a “fundamental human right” but he seems to think it’s fundamental only for Evangelicals.

Perkins claims,

“I’ve personally heard the concerns from foreign ambassadors and frequently hear from Members of Congress who have received complaints for foreign officials over how the administration has linked foreign aid to the adoption of the State Department’s LGBTQ and pro-abortion agendas.”


Perkins singles out Obama as pursuing some sort of unholy agenda by promoting pro-LGBT policies most nations of the West agree is right. Far more countries support LGBT rights than oppose them. Which makes Perkins, not Obama, the outlier:


To carry out this extreme agenda, the Obama............

A Very Ironic Thing Happened To A Man Who Blames Gay People For Disasters

Tony Perkins’ home was nearly destroyed in Baton Rouge floods.

Curtis M. Wong Queer Voices Senior Editor, The Huffington Post

“This is a flood of, I would have to say, near-biblical proportions,” Tony Perkins, who owns a home in Louisiana, said.
A home owned by the head of a “family” group that has claimed that the LGBT community could bring about human extinction has been nearly destroyed in a flood.

In 2015, the Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins interviewed extreme Messianic Jewish pastor Jonathan Cahn, who suggested that Hurricane Joaquin, which devastated the Bahamas, was a “sign of God’s wrath” against abortion and the Supreme Court’s historic ruling on same-sex marriage. Perkins agreed, saying that while “those on the left like to mock these things,” American leaders have historically viewed hurricanes as signs that “God is trying to send us a message.”

A year later, however, it’s a much different story. On Tuesday, Perkins said he and his family had to escape their Louisiana home in a canoe over the weekend because of the state’s devastating ― and record-breaking ― floods.

“This is a flood of, I would have to say, near-biblical proportions,” Perkins told listeners on his “Washington Watch” radio show, as heard in the audio snippet below. “This is unlike anything we’ve seen before... It’s a matter of picking up the pieces.”

He and his family will now live in a trailer for six months while their home is under repair, he said.
