Anti-gay Pope Francis Invites Hate Group Leader Tony Perkins To Anti-gay Marriage Conference

The Pope has invited the head of listed anti-gay hate group the Family Research Council to his summit on ‘traditional marriage’.
Pope Francis will open the ‘Complementary of Man and Woman’ conference on November 17, which brings together religious leaders from across different faiths who oppose same-sex marriage.
As well as representatives from the Catholic Church and other forms of Christianity, speakers from 23 countries will purportedly represent the views of Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Taoism and Sikhism.

However, Right Wing Watch uncovered evidence that anti-gay activist Tony Perkins – whose group is listed as an active homophobic hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center – has been invited to the Pontiff’s gathering.
Representatives from the US Southern Baptist Convention and from the Mormon church – both of which fiercely oppose same-sex marriage – are also slated to attend, as part of a united front against marriage equality.
