President-elect Donald Trump last week named Ken Blackwell — a man with a long anti-LGBT history — his domestic policy adviser.
Blackwell is a senior fellow at the Family Research Council (FRC), classified by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as a hate group that “often makes false claims about the LGBT community based on discredited research and junk science.”
Blackwell has been making anti-LGBT statements for years, including in 2014 when he blamed support for gay marriage for the deadly Isla Vista shootings in California.
