It hates gay people, so obviously the answer is yes.

The FRC is a bait group. Like Dobson's Focus on the Family, its semi-conscious purpose is to channel Christians who may otherwise be compelled by conscience to support social justice-oriented issues into hard right politics instead.

They're horrible, I wouldn't call them a "hate group."

LOL yes.  And whether or not they are a bait group with a conscious end in mind, they spout ridiculous, hateful drivel about gays that can have the effect of inciting hate in others. 

They are beyond pathetic.

Spreading lies and fear about homosexuality, I would say so. One of their members even said they would like to re-criminalize homosexual behavior (although that's an exception)... So I think the SPLC is right.

A "hate group" is the wrong type of HG. They still are a "horrible group" of course.

Yep, Peter Sprigg.  I remember his interview with Chris Matthews.

Yes. Their rhetoric is poisonous to society and they should be condemned for it.
