SPLC Expands 'Hate Map' to Include Conservative and Medical Groups

The Southern Poverty Law Center's latest report adds organizations opposing gender-affirming care and traditional Catholic groups to its list of hate groups.

The SPLC's new list includes nearly 600 hate groups and hundreds of anti-government extremist groups.
Medical professionals and organizations opposing sex change interventions for minors are now labeled as 'anti-LGBTQ+ hate groups.'
The list also retains traditional Catholic groups, despite the FBI retracting its memo targeting them.
Conservative groups criticize the SPLC's methodology, calling it a smear campaign against political and ideological opponents.
The SPLC's 'hate map' continues to be a contentious tool, affecting funding and public perception of listed organizations.
