The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Vice President of Strategic Initiatives Ryan Bangert regarding the U.S. Senate’s passage Tuesday of the deceptively named “Respect for Marriage Act,” a bill that does far more than enshrine same-sex marriage into federal law by intentionally jeopardizing the religious freedom of millions of Americans who have sincerely held beliefs about marriage: “This dangerously cynical and completely unnecessary bill is a direct attack on the First Amendment. It does nothing to change the legal status of same-sex marriage anywhere ...

The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Christiana Kiefer regarding an effort that began Tuesday by members of Congress to allow the U.S. House of Representatives to vote on the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act.

The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom General Counsel Kristen Waggoner regarding a letter ADF sent Wednesday to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland asking him to rescind his decision, apparently at the behest of activist groups who oppose parental concerns about the politicization of public schools, to direct the Federal Bureau of Investigation to convene meetings and consider actions in concert with other federal agencies regarding the “threat” such parents pose, effectively treating parents similarly to terrorists: “Parents expressing concern over critical ...
