American Family Association proclaims the Carolinas a safe, queer-free zone

http://www.mattcomer.net/983/american-family-association-proclaims-the-carolinas-a-safe-queer-free-zone/

There are no LGBT people in the Carolinas. Certainly, there are no LGBT organizations in the Carolinas.

At least that’s what you might think looking at the American Family Association’s ridiculous “bigotry map.” The hate group is clearly spinning and spoofing the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hate Map, which tracks hate groups across the country. AFA has been listed as a hate group by the SPLC, along with several other anti-LGBT groups. (hat-tip: Pink News)

AFA’s map includes groups that are “Homosexual Agenda,” “Atheist,” “Anti-Christian” and “Humanist.”

In the Carolinas, there are no “Homosexual Agenda” groups, but AFA does list eight “Anti-Christian” groups like chapters for the Americans United and Freedom From Religion Foundation, along with four humanists groups and three atheists associations.




Wait a minute. Isn't Lindsey Graham from SC?
