American College of Pediatricians

(Community Matters) Chris Matthews has shown that Tony Perkins (Family Research Council) misled viewers when citing an American College of Pediatricians study calling homosexuality harmful to children. This during an  on-air debate with the Southern Poverty Law Center.  The former is livid that the Family Research Council has been labeled a hate group (noting FRC’s propagation of known falsehoods) by the decades old, well respected civil rights organization.

Turns out the American *College* of Pediatricians is an early 2000 splinter group of 100ish members of the American *Academy* of Pediatrics.  They broke off when the American Academy supported gay parental rights.

The American Family Association is another organization which will be listed as a hate group, again for “their propagation of known falsehoods – claims about LGBT people that have been thoroughly discredited by scientific authorities
