He was so butthurt when his name originally landed on the SPLC hate group list, but now, he has changed his mind. Right Wing Watch reports that he now considers it a badge of honor:
The Minnesota Family Council’s Barb Anderson sat down with Peter LaBarbera of Americans for the Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH) for a radio interview recently. The duo talked about bringing “ex-gays” into the Anoka-Hennepin School District and the fact that AFTAH is now listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a designation Anderson calls a “badge of honor.” The organization recently added 13 new groups to its hate-group map, many for anti-gay positions. The Minnesota Family Council, which opposes homosexuality, has associations with a number of groups that are now on the SPLC list.
“We are one of the rare groups that is opposed single-mindedly against the homosexual activist movement,” said LaBarbera, who founded AFTAH in 1996. “The so-called gay lobby has reached the zenith of its power. They are everywhere.”
“I don’t feel like a homophobe; as one guy said, I’m homo-nauseated,” he continued. “They are everywhere. You can’t get away from them, even in the schools, so today we are interviewing Barb Anderson of the Minnesota Family Council.”
Both LaBarbera and Anderson agreed that AFTAH’s recognition by the SPLC is a point of pride.
“There’s a lot of hatred out there in the so-called gay lobby,” LaBarbera said.
Anderson agreed: “Absolutely. They call us a hate group but the emails and the responses we get from them are just full of anger and hateful comments that they make towards us.”
“I think it’s becoming perhaps a badge of honor to be called a hate group,” said Anderson.
LaBarbera added, “If you are not on the SPLC hate list, you are not doing enough.”
“You are not doing your job,” agreed Anderson. “I think the greatest threat to our freedom and to the health and well-being of our children is from this radical homosexual agenda which is just so pervasive.”
Let’s take a moment of silence and contemplate how the wingnut lady who thinks gays are the Greatest Threat to Our Freedom manages to put on underwear each day without landing herself in the ER with a concussion, and let’s move on.
But anyway, it’s good that Peter has embraced his hate group status, because it’s not going anywhere, especially as his viewpoints are relegated more and more to KKK status with each passing day.

I ‘feel nauseated’ because I can’t ‘get away from them’ asswipe moronic homophobes. ‘They’re everywhere’ and I/we have had to deal with them just about every fckn day of our lives. And I guess you should expect hate mail when you perpetually lie about a group of people while trying to deprive them of their fundamental civil rights and drive their young people to suicide. They’re lucky ‘hateful email’ is ALL they get.
When he stands before the Great Throne at the End, will he tell Jesus it’s a badge of pride to be going to hell for enjoying hate, as well?
It’s pretty obvious that the “homo-nauseated” guy is a little worried that their side is losing. Yes Bozo, we are everywhere, and since more and more of us are coming out, it’s only going to get worse.
Poor Porno Pete ! Me worries that the poor dear is headed for a padded cell, wearing nothing but his assless chaps !!
“You can’t get away from them.” Good. You better believe it. You can’t get away from THEM, nor can you get away from heteros who think you’re vile and the antithesis of Christian. When these hate-mongers say stuff like this, I wonder what they’re solution to the gay “problem” is. I can only surmise that they’d send everyone whom they fear to some Gulag. And these people are raising children. Ugh.
Conservationism is a mental illness. Those who follow this ideology show characteristics of sociopaths, narcissist, and your basic selfish a*****e personality which is very unconstitutional. “We the People” does not mean “Profit Before People”. Unregulated Capitalism, which conservatives, both from the Republication and Democratic Political parties, are unpatriotic, and are guilty if treason, knowingly letting the people of America suffer so they can make money and have power to conquer the world. However, the USA was built on this, invading, taking over area, killing all those who dissent, and then occupying it as their own. All other civilized countries believe what the Founder and those prior to them, are guilty of, is simple blatant genocide. When speaking about “right” and “left” on a political scale, there are many levels. Much like religion; Conservative Christians are the most vial, spreading anti-Islam, homophobia, and blame woman for being rape. Conservative Muslims are those who flew planes on 9/11, though, it is the USgov fault for that, because with their Neo-Liberal/Imperialism/Globalism, that have angered many people, and those on 9/11 were reacting, not just acting to take over the world. Since we are in the USA ( I am assuming) conservative Christianity is are biggest threat, by creating more and more enemies around the globe and by spreading hatred among the America people, where surely witch trials are not too far in our future. Unfortunately, because if this, I hope one day the USA is invaded and taken over, or their is another civil war, where Americans can really be the government, like the Constitution was created for. Though it may be a Utopian dream, it is possible if people of America stopped letting themselves become sheep to the political “right”, the Conservative Christian base, that travels the world supporting killing gays, taking away help to countries that don’t do what they want an other maladjusted personality disorders aka Mental Illness.
