In the least surprising news of the weekend, it turns out that One MIllion Moms is listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group. Gee really?

Gee, nothing sexist about this image is there?

Though the One Million Moms name makes it sound like a bunch of housewives got together and decided to launch a campaign to protect their impressionable children from the "gayness" in fact they are ACTUALLY the most recent incarnation of the long standing anti-gay hate group the American Family Association, as you can see by visiting their donation page here:

Here is the story behind the American Family Association courtesy of SPLC:

Initially founded as the National Federation for Decency, the American Family Association (AFA) originally focused on what it considered indecent television programming and pornography. The AFA says it promotes "traditional moral values" in media. A large part of that work involves "combating the homosexual agenda" through various means, including publicizing companies that have pro-gay policies and organizing boycotts against them.

Here are some of AFA's  stated opinions in their own words:

"[T]he homosexual lifestyle is characterized by anonymous sexual encounters and celebration of sexual obsession and perversion unparalleled in any other social group." – Richard Howe, "Homosexuality in America," AFA publication, 1994 

"As with smoking, homosexual behavior's ‘second hand' effects threaten public health… .Thus, individuals who choose to engage in homosexual behavior threaten not only their own lives, but the lives of the general population." – Gary Glenn, president of Michigan chapter of AFA, 2001 

"Homosexuality is not only harmful to homosexuals themselves, but also to children and to society." – Stephen Bennett, AFA writer, 2004 

"If President Obama, Congressional Democrats, and homosexual activists get their wish, your son or daughter may be forced to share military showers and barracks with active and open homosexuals who may very well view them with sexual interest." – AFA press release, February 2010 

"The homosexual movement is a progressive outgrowth of the sexual revolution of the past 40 years and will lead to the normalization of even more deviant behavior." – Don Wildmon, AFA website, 1999 (still posted as of 2011). 

"Homosexuality gave us Adolph Hitler, and homosexuals in the military gave us the Brown Shirts, the Nazi war machine and six million dead Jews." – Bryan Fischer, AFA director of issue analysis for government and public policy, 2010

So not only are there FAR less than a million members of One Million Moms (When I checked, One Million Moms was liked by 47,062 people on Facebook. Not quite a million.), they are not even REALLY just a group of mothers, but are instead a hateful group of homophobes hiding behind the skirts of imaginary mommies.


I have to imagine that there are therapists all over the country literally salivating at the opportunity to get THESE nutjobs on a couch in their office. "So how long have you feared the gay man and imagined a great mother figure to defend you from your latent homosexual desires? Hmmm?"
