MSNBC, stop using an anti-gay hate group to represent Christians

The Family Research Council is so extreme that they've been officially listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, in part because they've repeatedly accused gays and lesbians of child molestation.

But MSNBC continues to invite their president, Tony Perkins to speak on behalf of Christian voters. In fact, since FRC was designated a hate group in November 2010, Tony Perkins has appeared on MSNBC more often than any other network.

When we tried to buy airtime on MSNBC for this ad exposing Tony Perkins' record of spreading hateful lies about gays and lesbians, they rejected it "based on its appropriateness." Apparently MSNBC considers it appropriate to invite to a hate-group leader on its shows to speak for Christians, but not appropriate for its viewers to learn what he really stands for.

Sign the petition to MSNBC:

The Family Research Council is a hate group, and journalists ought to treat it as such. MSNBC must stop inviting Family Research Council spokespeople on the air to represent the views of Christians and other people of faith.
