Anti-gay Family Research Council: Josh Duggar’s latest scandal ‘devastating’
The anti-gay Family Research Council is calling the cheating scandal involving Josh Duggar, the former executive director of its lobbying arm, ‘devastating.’
‘We are grieved by Josh’s conduct and the devastating impact of his pornography addiction and marital unfaithfulness,’ FRC President Tony Perkins said in a statement on the group’s website.
‘Our hearts hurt for his family, and all those affected by Josh’s actions,’ Perkins added. ‘His deceitful behavior harms his family, his friends, his former coworkers, and the cause he has publicly espoused.’
Duggar, one of the members of the evangelical Christian family that starred in the now-cancelled TLC reality series 19 Kids and Counting, resigned from FRC in May after he admitted to sexually abusing five young girls, including some of his sisters, when he was a teenager.
This week, Duggar admitted to being ‘the biggest hypocrite ever’ when it was discovered that he had an account with the website Ashley Madison which specializes in facilitating extramarital affairs.
States Perkins: ‘Those of us who advocate for family values in the public square are held to a higher standard, and Josh’s failures serve as a painful reminder of the destructive effects of not living with integrity. We are praying for the family.’
FRC advocates and lobbies for socially conservative policies and opposes and lobbies against LGBTI rights such as same-sex marriage and adoption. In 2010, the Southern Poverty Law Center classified the FRC as an anti-gay hate group.
