Critics of Informed Parents of Silicon Valley say the group is anti-LGBTQ

A “parental rights” group whose critics say promotes anti-LGBTQ messaging apologized late Thursday night to San Jose councilmember Bien Doan for erroneously using the elected official’s photo on a flyer for an upcoming event hosted by the organization.

“A flyer has been circulating the web incorrectly linking me as a speaker at an Informed Parents of Silicon Valley meeting,” Doan wrote. “As soon as I learned of this, I sent a cease-and-desist letter to their organization and informed them I would not be attending.” Doan also said that the incident serves as a “wakeup call” for his office to better research the backgrounds of organizations he meets with.
