The far-left civil rights organization Southern Poverty Law Center has added the conservative Evangelical parachurch ministry Focus on the Family to its list of "anti-LGBTQ+ hate groups," joining similar organizations that advocate for traditional beliefs on sexuality and family.

"Focus on the Family has long relied on its biblical worldview strategy to push back against LGBTQ+ progress and reproductive rights," reads the SPLC profile on the organization founded by Dr. James Dobson in 1977 to help Christian families thrive.
