Anti-Gay Group Moves To Colorado

An anti-gay research group, whose work has been cited by many groups including the Idaho Citizens Alliance, has relocated to Colorado from Washington, D.C.

The five-member Family Research Institute, headed by psychologist Paul Cameron, produces writings against homosexuality that have been widely used in campaigns against homosexuality like the one waged in Idaho last year over an anti-gay rights initiative. It has moved to the Colorado Springs area.

Cameron, whose work has been denounced by various civil rights groups, has said his scientific research concludes homosexuality is an “addiction” that has caused an “octopus of infection stretching across the world.”

The Idaho Citizens Alliance initiative prohibiting state or local laws protecting homosexuals from discrimination was rejected by less than 3,100 votes last year.
