not to be confused with the Family Research Council

The Family Research Institute is a homophobic and transphobic right wing fundamentalist Christian advocacy group headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It was founded in 1982 as the Institute for the Scientific Investigation of Sexuality (ISIS[1]) by Dr. Paul Cameron, and is classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.[2]

Dr. Paul Cameron is a homophobic psychologist. He runs the Institute with his son, Kirk,[3] 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 — e.g., 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."
