American Family Association (AFA)

Bryan Fischer, the openly bigoted Director of Issue Analysis for the anti-gay American Family Association, and host of Focal Point — who has previously called gays “nazis” and the “#1 perpetrators of hate crimes in America” — appeared Monday on The David Packman Show to discuss, among other topics, whether any Republican candidates are anti-gay enough for him.

Another researcher has come out complaining about how a religious right “expert” distorted her work to stigmatize the LGBTQ community. Rick Fitzgibbons of the NARTH (the National Association of Research and Therapy of Homosexuality) distorted research on same-sex adoption to make the case that children in same-sex households are not raised better than children “in stable homes with a mother and a father.”

It really should come as no surprise that there is no depth to which Bryan Fischer will not sink in his relentless assault against all things gay, as he is now openly promoting the idea that the HIV virus is not the cause of AIDS.

The American Family Association’s One News Now is known for being a fraudulent news sources by often creating a story around the erroneous comments of anti-gay leaders or telling only one side of an incident (making sure to make the gay community look at fault).

Thrice-married Newt Gingrich has secured the endorsement of Don Wildmon, the founder of the vehemently anti-gay American Family Association. One of the cogs in Gingrich’s vast network of business enterprises and front groups, ReAL Action, has provided $125,000 to the AFA’s sister organization, American Family Association Action.

American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer said on Focal Point Monday that gays and lesbians could endanger the military and represent a risk to the country’s security because of mental health problems in the gay community.

Chuck Norris is an action movie star — and a bad one. But he should stay that way. His forays into politics reveal his basic ignorance. Norris has penned a piece for the American Family Association whining about how the Obama Administration has declared war on religion.

On Monday, Massachusetts congressman Barney Frank announced that he will not seek reelection next year, and American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer wondered “how many people were drawn or encouraged in some way by Barney Frank’s example to dabble in a lifestyle that eventually cost them their health and maybe even cost them their lives.”

We can now add Bryan Fischer to the list of anti-gay activists who have blamed 15-year-old openly gay eighth grader Lawrence King for his own murder, this time on the grounds that his killer was a victim of King’s relentless sexual harassment…

When Gary Glenn, the head of American Family Association’s Michigan affiliate, announced his run for U.S. Senate, Right Wing Watch wondered “how long it will be before Glenn receives Mike Huckabee’s endorsement given that Huckabee believes that ‘if we had leaders like Gary Glenn across America, our work wouldn’t be so hard.’”
