Dear Focus on the Family Reader, 

The Southern Poverty Law Center couldn’t be more wrong. They recently named Focus on the Family to its radical and inflammatory “hate group” list. Ridiculous!

The ministry you support is pro-person, not pro-sin. We follow the infallible biblical truth that God created two (and only two) genders, and that marriage is a sacred institution between one man and one woman. These are divinely inspired beliefs held by faithful Christians for thousands of years, not hate speech.

Will you give today to stand up for truth and provide resources that invest in God’s plan for marriage and families?

We won’t back down from God’s calling and will continue to fight for families. Together, we will endure and combat hate with Christ’s overcoming love.
