  1. The Indiana Family Institute is a “hate group” only in the eyes of partisan democrats. I suppose that usage of the term, gives everyone license to label the Southern Poverty Law Center a “hate group”. The SPLC certainly hates Christians that aren’t progressives.

    1. It’s not hate as long as it’s directed against LGBTQ people, right? That’s perfectly okay, by them. Right Micah and Curt?

    2. no—they’re a bonafide hate group. Because they aggressively sought to deny basic civil rights to many Hoosier families–for over a decade. They chose the name–they can live with the consequences. They specialize in weaponizing (incorrectly) clobber passages of Scripture….and it’s ugly, at best.

  2. Hate groups to liberals are anyone that disagrees with their position. To call the Indiana Family Institute a “hate group” is moronic. Attacks like that are more of an attack on your intelligence than on the institute itself.

  3. “Hate” is always a loaded term and I tend to avoid it. However, while I can’t speak for trans people, it is beyond question that the Indiana Family Institute actively has and continues to work against equal (not special) rights for gay and bi people. Its own website reflects this. Not understanding the situation is one thing. Willfully not learning about the situation is quite another.

    1. No–they promote what THEY think is a “traditional family.”

      Nobody gets to define family except you. For yourself.

    1. But if it walks like a duck…and quacks like a duck…and looks like a duck…why not call it a duck?
