3. Do you mean the AFA is a "domestic terrorist organization"?

That's what they should be called. Any group that intimidates and/or forces their views on the government is not just a hate group, it's also the textbook definition of a terrorist organization, and IMO, AFA and other hate groups should be treated that way.

can get prepared. If they actually do create an underground network to kidnap children and whisk them away from their LGBT families then it could be next to impossible to find the kids and get them back.

In such a network, one link in the chain doesn't know what happens in the next link and so on. Just like in the networks for abused spouses and children.

Not only that but if they have RW backing they will have RW money - making it even easier to completely disappear these kids.

on this new angle yet. And I wonder if there is an organization that can give LGBT families advice on keeping their children safe in light of this development.

them in an environment where they'll be brain-washed and probably repeatedly abused (if not even raped) by some Fundamentalist loons. That's just what Jesus would have wanted.

- Should be obvious, but just in case.
