Tony Perkins, president of the anti-gay Family Research Council (FRC), was on the attack again today. In a live event broadcast from the FRC political arm’s website, Perkins announced that a new FRC poll had found that almost 63% of “active duty and retired military families oppose overturning the policy prohibiting open homosexuality in the military.”
I went up against Tony Perkins, the head of the hard-line anti-gay group Family Research Council (FRC), on MSNBC’s “Hardball with Chris Matthews” last night. Perkins was there to defend his organization after the SPLC listed it as a hate group last week. The whole experience was like trying to nail Jell-O to a wall.
