The FRC was founded by [[Gerald P. Regier]], [[Armand Nicholi Jr]], [[Gary Alan Reker]] and others in 1981, to lobby against the legalisation of gay marriage, and the introduction of laws outlawing discrimination against LGBT people. In 1983, it was incorporated into [[Focus On The Family]], another Anti-LGBT lobby group lead by [[James Dobson]], who introduced [[Gary Bauer]] as president, replacing Regier. However, in 1992, Bauer pulled them out due to his objections to Focus On The family not having to pay tax. After Bauer resigned in 1999, [[Kenneth L. Connor]] took over, but was replaced by current president [[Tony Perkins]]. | The FRC was founded by [[Gerald P.

During Perkins's tenure in 2012, the FRC was classified as a [[Hate Groups|Hate Group]] by the Southern Poverty Law Centre, and shortly afterwards left-wing extremist [[Floyd Lee Corkins]] attempted a mass shooting at the FRC's headquarters in Washington DC. Perkins condemned the SPLC for classifying them as a hate group, as he claimed they had motivated Corkins to attempt his attack. | During Perkins's tenure in 2012, the FRC was classified as a [[Hate Groups|Hate Group]] by the Southern Poverty Law Centre, and shortly afterwards left-wing extremist [[Floyd Lee Corkins]] attempted a [[Mass Shooting|mass shooting]] at the FRC's headquarters in Washington DC.

The FRC has since set up a subdivision named FRC Action, which was led by [[Josh Duggar]] for a time. However, Duggar resigned in 2015 after being accused of being a [[Pedophilia|Paedophile]], whilst Rekers, who was still a leading member, resigned in 2012 after being outed as gay when he was caught with a male prostitute. | The FRC has since set up a subdivision named FRC Action, which was led by [[Josh Duggar]] for a time.
