Okay, Bryan Fischer is as big a douche as ever has lived, and linking Nazism with homosexuality is laugh-out-loud funny, but I'm concerned that we aren't giving the anti-gay lobby the right kind of room to die a natural death. They've been marginalized into a group that's energized by being in the margin. Maybe that's what a successful tolerance campaign always looks like, but I'm not sure the SPLC calling them a hate group won't accidentally create some synergies between the AFA and (if you can believe it) even darker elements of our society.
Ideally the government adopts a position that one's sexual orientation is utterly irrelevant to one's ability to contribute to society and reap its benefits, but the lunatic ravings of the AFA (which is powerful and monied) would have been better left to their echo chamber. Unless this is a cynical fundraising effort by SPLC, I think it's a strategic mistake for their aims.
