Christian Pro-Hate Group Creates ‘Bigotry Map’ Of Supposed ‘Anti-Christian’ Organizations
A certified anti-gay hate group is lashing out by creating a map of atheist, humanist, LGBT, and “anti-Christian” groups.
The American Family Association continues to object to the Southern Poverty Law Center adding them to its list of anti-gay hate groups. Despite wearing the label as badge of honor, the AFA often mischaracterizes the attribution, falsely claiming the SPLC included them because of their Christian beliefs in going to “church on Sundays,†“intact families,†“free speech,†“freedom of religion†and “belief in Jesus Christ.â€Â
Last month the American Family Association was forced to remove Bryan Fischer as its official spokesperson, over comments he has made for years claiming gays are Nazis, and other similar claims. That came immediately before the AFA sponsored a trip to Israel for about 60 GOP lawmakers and Republican leaders, despite a long anti-Semitic streak displayed by AFA founder Don Wildmon, and Fischer.

Now, the AFA is fighting back. They’ve created a Bigotry Map highlighting groups that advocate for the “homosexual agenda,” along with “atheist,” “anti-Christian,” and “Humanist” categories.
Among the national groups listed are the Human Rights Campaign, GLSEN, the Freedom From Religion Foundation, and of course, the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Claiming these are “groups and organizations that openly display bigotry toward the Christian faith,” and “are deeply intolerant towards the Christian religion,” the Bigotry Map claims the groups’ “objectives are to silence Christians and to remove all public displays of Christian heritage and faith in America.”
“A common practice of these groups is threatening our nation’s schools, cities and states. By threat of lawsuit, they demand prayer removed from schools and city council meetings, Ten Commandments monuments stricken from courthouses and memorial crosses purged from cemeteries and parks.”
Of course, those lawsuits are almost always successful because of the First Amendment and our nation’s devotion to the idea of separation between church and state.
“Because of anti-Christian bigotry, private business owners have been sued and forced to close their business,” the AFA claims, without naming one. Exactly which private business owners have been “forced to close their business”?Â
“Some members or supporters of these groups have committed violent crimes against Christians and faith-based groups,” the AFA claims. Aside from one who attacked the Family Research Council headquarters, exactly whom else?Â
The map actually has few organizations on it, mostly local branches of the above mentioned groups, proving that the persecution the American Family Association claims is mostly non-existent.

The House Ethics Committee has reportedly announced that U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) is facing a review by the Office of Congressional Conduct.
The origin of the review was not been disclosed. Under committee rules, officials are prohibited from stating whether the matter constitutes a formal investigation or identifying its underlying cause. The Committee only stated that there is a “matter regarding Representative Nancy Mace.”
“The Committee notes that the mere fact of a referral or an extension, and the mandatory disclosure of such an extension and the name of the subject of the matter, does not itself indicate that any violation has occurred, or reflect any judgment on behalf of the Committee,” the Ethics Committee statement reads. It was posted to social media by congressional journalist Jamie Dupree.
The statement also says the committee will “announce its course of action in this matter on or before March 2, 2026.”
Congresswoman Mace is currently running for governor of South Carolina.
Earlier this month Mace warned that Republicans may lose control of the House, saying they have not “done enough” and could “do a lot more” to implement President Donald Trump’s agenda, The Hill reported.

A prominent Republican lawmaker is vowing to thwart any attempt by President Donald Trump to acquire Greenland through force or financial means.
Speaking from Copenhagen as part of a bipartisan delegation of U.S. congressional lawmakers, U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), told reporters it is “an important message for the people of the Kingdom of Denmark to understand” that the United States has “three separate but equal branches” of government.
Reminding them that under the U.S. Constitution it is Congress that controls spending, Senator Murkowski, who has broken ranks and stood up to President Trump at times, said, “In Congress, we have tools at our disposal under our constitutional authority that speaks specifically to the power of the purse through appropriations.”
She noted also that “Congress has a role. Certainly, when it comes to spending authorities, the Congress has a role in basically helping to facilitate the message that comes from our constituents, to be reflected in whether it’s legislation or appropriations, or actions or measures, that can indicate, again, the will of the Congress.”

The “vast majority” of Americans do not support the acquisition of Greenland, Senator Murkowski added, noting that “some 75 percent will say we do not think that that is a good idea.”
“Greenland needs to be viewed as our ally, not as an asset,” Murkowski also told reporters.
Politico reported that U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) “also took part in the visit by House and Senate lawmakers,” and “said he would push ahead with legislation to curb Trump’s power to act unilaterally.”
He also denied President Trump’s claims that Greenland is necessary to be owned by the U.S. for national security reasons.
“Are there real, pressing threats to the security of Greenland from China and Russia?” Coons said. “No, not today.”
Sen. Murkowski: “When you ask the American people whether or not they think it is a good idea for the United States to acquire Greenland, the vast majority, some 75%, will say, we do not think that that is a good idea. This senator from Alaska does not think it is a good idea.” pic.twitter.com/zfitY31LyF

Just one day after threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota, which would allow him to unleash domestic military forces onto American streets, President Donald Trump once again on Friday hinted he would do so while suggesting he may be “forced” to take action.
Trump targeted Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, both Democrats, claiming they “don’t know what to do” after he deployed roughly 3,000 federal troops to the city.
“In Minnesota,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, “the Troublemakers, Agitators, and Insurrectionists are, in many cases, highly paid professionals.”
“The Governor and Mayor don’t know what to do, they have totally lost control, and our currently being rendered, USELESS! If, and when, I am forced to act, it will be solved, QUICKLY and EFFECTIVELY!”
The Guardian labeled Trump’s claims that protesters are paid as baseless.
Attorney Aaron Reichlin-Melnick wrote: “Note that the Trump admin hasn’t yet been able to produce evidence of a SINGLE ‘paid protestor.’ They’ve had total control of the FBI and the DOJ and ICE HSI and yet despite all of that, they can’t even find ONE person who they can accuse of being paid to protest.”
Separately, The Steady State, a group of over 365 former national security officials, while not referring to Trump’s remarks from Friday morning, noted that the Insurrection Act is “an extraordinary power meant for true emergencies, not a shield for unconstitutional policing. Using it to silence dissent or justify unlawful paramilitary activity at the hand of ICE undermines the rule of law.”
