Peter LaBarbera appeared on the “Point of View” radio program yesterday where he proclaimed that America must embrace “Christian oriented law” so that groups like his Americans For Truth About Homosexuality, the Family Research Council, and the America Family Association will no longer be smeared as “hate groups” because of their anti-gay activism.

Saying that gay activists no longer believe in tolerance, LaBarbera declared that such activists are intent on destroying anyone who will not embrace the “fiction” that gay relationships are acceptable by attacking them as haters.
