What does ADF believe?

The Alliance Defending Freedom says one thing in public and does the opposite in courts and legislatures around the world.

On The Subject of Equal Respect For All

In Public

"The bottom line is that all laws must respect freedom and promote justice for every citizen, no matter who they are."

ADF Blog Post, June 8, 2017

In The Courtroom

"[T]hat everyone has equal dignity does not mean that every sexual orientation warrants equal respect."

ADF Brief, European Court of Human Rights, July 1, 2015

On The Subject of LGBT Students

In Public

"[E]very student deserves to have their privacy and dignity respected by school officials."

ADF Legal Counsel Christiana Holcomb, Press Release, August 25, 2017

In Promoting Model School Policy

"Efforts to indoctrinate our society into supporting homosexual behavior have been ever increasing over the last several years...well intentioned [anti-bullying] policies, however, are now being perverted and used as cloaks for the promotion of homosexually-based programs in our schools. Other homosexual behavior advocates are demanding that protections for 'sexual orientation' and 'gender identity' be inserted into existing anti-bullying policies so that inappropriate, sexually-based materials can be promulgated to our children."

ADF Model Anti-Bullying Policy Letter, October 30, 2009

On the Subject of Civil Discourse

In Public

"When did we decide that having an open public robust discourse, made the world worse rather than better? Why can't we all get along?"

ADF Senior VP Kristin Waggoner Video, May 29, 2015

In Private

"The LGBT lobby will do its best to silence and punish those with whom they disagree. That is because at their core, they have an intense hatred of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and want to stamp it, and those of us who believe in it, out at all costs."

ADF Attorney Mike Norton, Breaking the Silence Conference Speech, July 13, 2015

On Transgender People

In Public

"I think it all boils down to this right of privacy and is this something worth preserving. We think it is, but they're just trampling on it saying no, you need to be educated, you need to get with the times, and if you don't think that way you're a bigot, you're hateful of transgender people and that's just not the case at all."

ADF Video, May 9, 2016

In Court

"It is said that denial of sex designated facilities (e.g. dressing areas, restrooms) to the transgendered individual is a source of anxiety, sending the message to that person that he or she is different. It is common in treating delusions to have the patient experience some conflict and anxiety as they confront the realities which are not in line with their cognitions/beliefs. This distress can be managed by sensitive exploration and an offering of other perspectives other than the false, fixed belief. The individual needs compassion, just not unequivocal support for their position."
