The Family Research Council is known for its repeated attacks on the LGBTQ community.

Republican Montana Rep. Greg Gianforte on Wednesday praised an anti-LGBTQ hate group, thanking the organization for endorsing his campaign for governor.

"I'm thankful for the support of Family Research Council Action and all the work they do to protect our values of faith, family, and freedom!" he wrote on Facebook, alongside a quote from the group's president Tony Perkins, calling Gianforte "the leader that Montana needs."

FRC Action is the political arm of Perkins' Family Research Council. The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated the Family Research Council a hate group, based on its "claims about the LGBT community based on discredited research and junk science."

"Family Research Council believes that homosexual conduct is harmful to the persons who engage in it and to society at large, and can never be affirmed. It is by definition unnatural, and as such is associated with negative physical and psychological health effects," FRC says on its website. "We oppose the vigorous efforts of homosexual activists to demand that homosexuality be accepted as equivalent to heterosexuality in law, in the media, and in schools."
