Rationale
=Abiding Truth Ministries=
- The SPLC lists Abiding Truth Ministries among its Anti-Gay hate groups. It cites the group's status as "a launching pad for an international anti-gay campaign" whose scope includes Eastern Europe and Uganda, including the Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Bill, which prescribes the death penalty for "repeat offenders." Founder Scott Lively is the author of a book which claims that "the Nazi Party was entirely controlled by militaristic homosexuals."
=American Family Association=
- The SPLC lists the American Family Association among its Anti-Gay hate groups. Founder Bryan Fischer has claimed that homosexuality, and gay people serving in the military, caused the Holocaust. He has also advocated government discrimination against Muslims and likened Islam to the Ku Klux Klan.
=Americans for Truth About Homosexuality=
- The SPLC lists Americans for Truth About Homosexuality among its Anti-Gay hate groups. It cites the group's promotion of "utterly discredited" research claiming that gay people have shorter lifespans, its statement that homosexuality is akin to drug abuse and that gays are trying to take away religious people's free speech, and its false claim that there is "a disproportionate incidence of pedophilia" among gay men.
=American Vision=
=Catholic Apologetics International=
- The SPLC lists Catholic Apologetics International among its Radical Traditional Catholicism hate groups. It cites the group's vocal antisemitism and propagation of conspiracy theories, including founder Robert Sungenis's writings about how the anti-Christ will be Jewish and how Jews will bring about the rule of Satan.{{Cite journal |url=http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2006/winter/the-dirty-dozen |journal=The Intelligence Report |publisher=Southern Poverty Law Center |issue=124 |date=Winter 2006 |title=The Dirty Dozen}}
=Catholic Family News=
- The SPLC lists Catholic Family News among its Radical Traditional Catholicism hate groups. It cites the publisher's vocal antisemitism and propagation of conspiracy theories, including the Judeo-Masonic conspiracy theory and the claim that Judaism is "part of the Kingdom of Satan."
=Culture Wars/Fidelity Press=
- The SPLC lists Culture Wars/Fidelity Press among its Radical Traditional Catholicism hate groups. It cites the publisher's vocal antisemitism and focus on "the alleged evils of the Jews": one Culture Wars cover story was "The Judaism of Hitler," and founder E. Michael Jones claims that the Holocaust was "a reaction to Jewish Messianism (in the form of Bolshevism)."
=Chalcedon Foundation=
- The SPLC lists the Chalcedon Foundation among its Anti-Gay hate groups. The group advocates the death penalty for gay people as part of a broader plan for a Christian theocratic government. Its founder, R.J. Rushdoony, also opposed interracial marriage and racial integration, saying that the Bible "recognizes that some people are by nature slaves," and denied the Holocaust.
=Dove World Outreach Center=

=Family Research Council=
- The SPLC lists the Family Research Council among its Anti-Gay hate groups. It cites the group's status as a "font of anti-gay propaganda" due to its continual false claims that gay people are more likely to abuse children and that the gay rights movement aims to promote pedophilia. The group's active and influential participation in campaigns against LGBT rights legislation, and its promotion of scientifically questionable conversion therapy, are also factors.{{Cite web |publisher=Southern Poverty Law Center |url=http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/family-research-council |work=Intelligence Files |title=Family Research Council |accessdate=2011-02-28}}

=Legion of St. Louis and IHS Press=
- The SPLC lists the Legion of St. Louis and IHS Press among its Radical Traditional Catholicism hate groups. It describes them as "two of the most nakedly anti-Semitic organizations in the entire radical traditionalist Catholic pantheon."

=Nation of Islam=
- The SPLC lists the Nation of Islam as a Black Separatist hate group. It cites the group's "long history of racist and anti-Semitic rhetoric that escalated dramatically with Louis Farrakhan's coup," as well as lesser amounts of homophobia and anti-Catholic sentiment. It also quotes both Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s own 1959 critical description of the NOI as "a hate group arising in our midst that would preach the doctrine of black supremacy," and former NOI preacher Malcolm X's own denunciation of the "sickness and madness" of NOI racism.{{cite web|url = http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/groups/nation-of-islam|title = Nation of Islam|publisher = Southern Poverty Law Center |accessdate=2011-02-28 |work=Intelligence Files}}.

=Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary=
- The SPLC lists Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary among its Radical Traditional Catholicism hate groups. It cites the group's vocal antisemitism: members believe that Jewish people, whom one leader described as "the perpetual enemy of Christ," will be the first to welcome the anti-Christ and will begin "the most savage persecution of the Church in the history of the world," and that the Virgin Mary threatened Jews with "blood and terror if it's required."
