The Family Research Council's Senior Researcher for Policy Studies Peter Sprigg was criticized by gay rights activists[20][21][22][23] when he, in his official capacity as a fellow of the FRC,[24] stated that gay behavior should be outlawed and that "criminal sanctions against homosexual behavior" should be enforced.[25] More recently, Sprigg has publicly suggested that repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy would encourage molestation of heterosexual service members.[26] When asked about Sprigg's comments regarding the criminalization of same-sex behavior, FRC President Tony Perkins said that criminalizing homosexuality is not a goal of the Family Research Council, but did not denounce Sprigg's statements.[27][28] Perkins repeated the FRC’s association of gay men with pedophilia,[27] saying that "If you look at the American College of Pediatricians, they say the research is overwhelming that homosexuality poses a danger to children." The opinions expressed by Perkins are contradicted by mainstream social science perspectives on same-sex parenting[29] and the likelihood of child molestation by homosexuals,[29][30] and some scientists whose work is cited by the American College of Pediatricians have accused the ACP of distorting and misrepresenting their work.[31]
