Two prominent anti-gay activists are
joining forces to create a new coalition to “more effectively
oppose the now-global LGBT agenda.”
Scott Lively of the Massachusetts-based
Defend the Family International and Peter LaBarbera of the
Illinois-based Americans for Truth about Homosexuality (AFTAH) on
Friday will hold a press conference at the National Press Club in
Washington to announce formation of the Coalition for Family Values.
“The first action of the coalition
will be to issue a statement of support for the Russian pro-family
laws of 2013 and 2014 – e.g., the prohibition of pro-homosexual
propaganda to minors – and to urge other nations of the world to
follow the Russian example,” according to a
press release.
Lively is best known for playing a key
role in pushing for tough anti-gay legislation in Uganda. He is also
the author of The
Pink
Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party, which attempts to
draw parallels between the modern gay rights movement and Nazism, and
calls gay rights dangerous.
