Anti-Queer Political Websites

This site provides analyses, from UCLA students enrolled in 'Contested Sexualities,' of anti-queer political organizations.  The analyses provides information on who created, who is the taget audience, and what the foundation of the beliefs are of the anti-queer site.

Christian Anti-Queer Groups

These are specifically Christian anti-queer groups that rely on Christian beliefs to build their foundation of anti-queer thought.  Their agendas are to spread their interpretation of Christianity.
