Anthony Perkins (born 1962; not to be confused with the Psycho actor of the same name[wp]) is a professional homophobe and the president of the Family Research Council. After a gunman shot up his group's offices in 2012, Perkins partially blamed the Southern Poverty Law Center for the incident, claiming that their branding of the Family Research Council as a hate group inspired the shooter. [1]

In 2012 alone, Perkins said kids are made gay because of immoral parents, that the Secret Service prostitution scandal was a result of the administration's repeal of "don't ask, don't tell," and that JCPenney should have been boycotted because it chose a lesbian spokeswoman in Ellen DeGeneres. [2]
