While the lgbt community raises hell about the American Family Association, the Family Research Council, the Traditional Values Coalition, and many of those other bogus pro-family groups, let's not forget about Focus on the Family.
Focus on The Family has always been careful not to seem as too extreme as Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council or Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association.
However, that doesn't mean the lgbt community should ignore them. According to People for the American Way's Right Wing Watch, the following is what the organization's advocacy arm - CitizenLink - wants Congress to do "to" the lgbt community (as well as other communities):
I know there is something in there about health care, jobs, education, and helping the downtrodden.
But apparently it's hidden so well that I can't see it.
Focus on the Family's "wish list" speaks for itself in terms of how miserably the "public standard bearers" of Christianity and morality have failed at their jobs.

The group is now demanding Republicans pass harsh anti-choice bills that would cripple women’s health services, and also wants the GOP to rollback the rights of gays and lesbian: asking Republicans to repeal the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, reinstate Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, block the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and protect the unconstitutional Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Tom Minnery, the head of CitizenLink, previously called on the House Oversight Committee led by Darrell Issa (R-CA) to investigate the Department of Justice over their handling of successful challenges to DOMA.
