The Traditional Values Coalition (TVC) was an American conservative Christian organization. It was founded in 1980 at Anaheim California by Rev. Louis P. Sheldon to oppose LGBT rights.[1] Sheldon's daughter, Andrea Sheldon Lafferty, was initially the executive director and presently (since 2011) serves as president.[2][3][4] TVC was influential in the 1980s and 1990s in lobbying for government policy based in Christian fundamentalism.[5][6][7][8][9]
TVC was designated an anti-gay hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), citing TVC's use of "known falsehoods—claims about LGBT people that have been thoroughly discredited by scientific authorities—and repeated, groundless name-calling."[10]
The SPLC reported that the Traditional Values Coalition may have effectively ceased to function as of 2018.[1] It was still filing IRS forms as of 2019.[3][a]
