Why Were the CDC, FDA and HHS Not Included in the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hate Group List?
(Harrisburg) – The Southern Poverty Law Center’s Winter 2010 Intelligence Report lists 18 of what they call “anti-gay groups.” The list includes 13 ‘hate groups’ including the American Family Association (AFA), the national organization the American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA) is connected with. Since both the AFA and AFA of PA quote the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health and Human Services (HHS) on a regular basis, why weren’t they also included in the list?
“Even as recently as June 11th the Health and Human Services Advisory Committee on Blood Safety and Availability voted 6-9 not to recommend lifting the lifetime ban on blood donations from men who have sex with men. The CDC fact sheets recognize the high rates of HIV/AIDS among men who have sex with men,” noted Diane Gramley, president of the AFA of PA.
A man who has had sex with another man even one time since 1977 cannot donate blood under FDA’s policy.
Again why were these agencies not included in the Southern Poverty Law Center list because of their discriminatory policies and fact sheets?
What is the Southern Poverty Law Center today: Ken Silverstein, writing for Harper’s Magazine, addressed this in 2000: “Today’s SPLC spends most of its time – and money – on a relentless fund-raising campaign, peddling memberships in the church of tolerance with all the zeal of a circuit rider passing the collection plate. ‘He’s the Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker of the civil rights movement,’ renowned anti-death-penalty lawyer Millard Farmer says of Dees, his former associate, ‘though I don’t mean to malign Jim and Tammy Faye.’
“The American Institute of Philanthropy gives the Center one of the worst ratings of any group it monitors,” continued Silverstein. “Morris Dees doesn’t need your financial support. The SPLC is already the wealthiest civil rights group in America, though [its fundraising literature] quite naturally omits that fact. … ‘Morris and I…shared the overriding purpose of making a pile of money,’ recalls Dees’s business partner, a lawyer named Millard Fuller. ‘We were not particular about how we did it; we just wanted to be independently rich.’”
“The Southern Poverty Law Center’s actions reflect its far-left-leaning and its own discriminatory views against those with deeply held religious beliefs about the sin of engaging in homosexual acts. But it especially reveals the strong dislike it has for those who do not shy away from speaking the truth about the dangers of homosexuality. Its inclusion of the AFA alongside the KKK shows the Southern Poverty Law Center’s lack of understanding of the difference between true compassion and ‘hatred,’” Gramley concluded.

Hi Diane,
I recently read your comments on the One “News” Now site, and was quite amused. The little kid whining to her mommy “But Janie did it too” seemed to come to mind. But to the point, please let me explain the difference between a hate group and the CDC – and I’ll try to use words that a 7-year old can understand.
You see Diane, there is a difference between stating facts and spreading rumors. When you say that people who are gay are more likely to get AIDS or HIV, that’s simply the truth. But when you say that “men dressed in womens’s clothes are going to harm your children”, that’s called alarmism and it’s based on lies.
When blood isn’t taken from men who have had sex with men since 1977, that’s a bit based on fear and on a lack of trust in testing technology. But when you say that gay couples raising children are going to warp a child’s mind, that’s based on lies and hatred.
When you tell people that you can’t have gays in the military because the gays will rape the straight people and make them gay – that’s simply a lie. Especially when you realize that it’s most often the gay people who get beat up and killed by the good Christian boys.
I know that you’d like the good old days when we could lock up the gays, or toss the faggots on the fire like we did in the middle-ages, but we can’t do that anymore because we have to be nice.
I know that all this is tough to understand, but someday, you might grow up and need to deal with real people and real situations – your fantasy world will fall apart. And when that happens, you’ll have to realize that things will work better if we all get along.
Where to begin?
Gender identity disorder is still listed as such by the American Psychological Association. Dr. Paul McHugh with Johns Hopkins University used to advocate for sex reassignment surgery. He now realizes, “I have witnessed a great deal of damage from sex-reassignment. We have wasted scientific and technical resources and damaged our professional credibility by collaborating with madness rather than trying to study, cure, and ultimately prevent it.” Telling kids that this lifestyle is normal is harmful and confusing to them.
It has been confirmed, most recently by Dr. Walter Schumm, that children raised by gays and lesbians are more likely to identify as homosexual. That IS our definition of ‘warping a child’s mind.’

A review of the “case synopses” of all 1,643 reports of sexual assault reported by the four branches of the military for Fiscal Year 2009 suggests that homosexuals in the military are about three times more likely to commit sexual assaults than heterosexuals are, relative to their numbers.
All get along? Oh yeah, like fining photographers who don’t want to photograph a same-sex commitment ceremony, threatening eviction of a cookie store from city-owned property for not wanting to bake cookies for a homosexual organization or is it the eviction of the Cradle of Liberty Scout Council? Is that your definition of “getting along?”
It’s not excepted as a normal life and never was. Say what ever you want, but homosexuals has NEVER been excepted as a healthy life style
The Bible is very specific about its NEGATIVE view on homosexuality.
Leviticus 18 and 20; 1 Kings 14:24; 15:20; 22:46; 2 Kings 23:7; 1 Cor. 6:9; and 1 Tim. 1:8-10). Romans 1:26-27
Homosexuality is SIN just like other sins mentioned in the Bible.
The homosexual agenda is this:
http://www.conservapedia.com/Homosexual_Agenda
>>The Homosexual Agenda, or homosexual ideology, consists of a set of beliefs and objectives designed to promote and even mandate acceptance and approval of homosexuality, and the strategies used to implement such. This article notes that the goals and means of this movement include indoctrinating students in public school, restricting the free speech of opposition, obtaining special treatment for homosexuals, distorting Biblical teaching and science, and interfering with freedom of association. Advocates of the homosexual agenda seek special rights for homosexuals that other people don’t have, such as immunity from criticism (see hate speech, hate crimes). >>
To defend any belief system from criticism is pure lunacy, not to mention Un-Constitutional and Un American.
