The SPLC is an organization with a very checkered reputation for throwing people/organizations under the bus with little to no evidence for being hateful. So while you're attacking one organization, it's interesting that you'd cite that organization. There was a reason that I used their website's hate map to bust
@gourimoko's balls the other day.
This isn't to say that your overarching point isn't reasonable. Just that you guys have a very selective way of using ad hominem attacks on one another and each other's sources.

relative to their numbers, more likely to engage in such actions [childhood sexual abuse] than are heterosexual men.”

“The videos are titled 'It Gets Better.' They are aimed at persuading kids that although they'll face struggles and perhaps bullying for 'coming out' as homosexual (or transgendered or some other perversion), life will get better. …It's disgusting. And it's part of a concerted effort to persuade kids that homosexuality is okay and actually to recruit them into that lifestyle."
— Tony Perkins, FRC fundraising letter, August 2011
"Those who understand the homosexual community—the activists—they're very aggressive, they're—everything they accuse us of they are in triplicate. They're intolerant, they're hateful, vile, they're spiteful. .... To me, that is the height of hatred, to be silent when we know there are individuals that are engaged in activity, behavior, and an agenda that will destroy them and our nation."
—Tony Perkins, Speaking to the Oak Initiative Summit, April 2011
"We believe the evidence shows … that relative to the size of their population, homosexual men are more likely to engage in child sexual abuse than are heterosexual men."
— Peter Sprigg, "Debating Homosexuality: Understanding Two Views." 2011.

— Robert Knight, FRC director of cultural studies, and Frank York, 1999

— Steven Schwalm, FRC senior writer and analyst, in “Desecrating Corpus Christi,” 1999
