The Family, also known as the Fellowship, is a cohort of powerful lawmakers seeking to create a “God-led government” at home and abroad.

I object to allowing nefarious groups to co-opt common words and thereby destroy their meanings. By calling these freaks “the Family” you are doing the work of evil. Refuse them the name they desire.
