The Family Research Institute is a homophobic and transphobic right wing fundamentalist Christian advocacy group. It was founded in 1982 as the Institute for the Scientific Investigation of Sexuality (ISIS) by Dr. Paul Cameron, and is classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.[1]

Dr. Paul Cameron is a homophobic psychologist. He runs the Institute with his son, Kirk,[2] who has a Ph.D. in statistics from Stanford University. You would think with that much academic experience, their research wouldn't be so obviously flawed. However, their advocacy and their broad-brush statements — i.e., gays sexually abuse children at a higher rate than straights — have caused both the American Sociological Association and the Canadian Psychological Association to adopt resolutions criticizing the flawed and biased nature of their "research."

The Family Research Institute is headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
