25 LGBT groups have condemned the FRC shooting. The Southern Poverty Law Center, which has named FRC a "hate group" issued only the following general statement:

"We’ve seen news of the shooting of a security guard today at the Family Research Council office in Washington, D.C., and are getting media inquiries about it. There are unconfirmed reports that the shooting was ideologically motivated. We condemn all acts of violence and are following the story closely."
