When will it stop? At Alliance Defending Freedom, we’re seeing governments try to sideline Christian children’s homes, adoption centers, and homeless ministries from their mission because they are committed to following their faith. To put it bluntly, these ministries are being attacked because they seek to live out the Gospel and refuse to compromise their faith and God-given mission. In some cases, standing for the Gospel results in a ministry facing a barrage of unlawful and discriminatory attacks in the form of threatened investigations and penalties. In other cases, it could mean a ...

The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Emilie Kao, vice president of advocacy strategy, regarding a letter the Promise to America’s Parents Coalition sent Monday to California Gov. Gavin Newsom urging him to stand up for the safety and protection of children by vetoing SB 107.

Eric Holcomb’s signing Tuesday of HB 1190, a bill designed to ensure that public colleges and universities may not ban students from engaging in expressive activity in the open, outdoor areas of campus, and that student organizations may operate on campus according to their sincerely held beliefs: “Public colleges and universities are meant to be free and open for the exchange of ideas—a place where our future teachers, lawyers, doctors, judges, community leaders, and voters ...

Gender theory is harming children and poisoning our culture. It’s just that simple. From the classrooms to the playing fields to adoption policy, gender theory seeks to distort the clear truth and is undermining one of the most foundational realities of what it means to be human: the fact that we are each created male or female. Alliance Defending Freedom is on the front lines, pushing back against gender theory in the culture and in the courtroom. We’re challenging policies like “gender transition” plans that mislead and deceive parents about the care of their children. And policies that ...

The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Matt Bowman regarding a proposed rule released Monday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that reinterprets federal law to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation, requiring doctors to perform harmful medical procedures that seek to alter a patient’s biological sex even if the procedure violates the doctor’s medical judgment or religious beliefs. The new proposed rule would also prohibit discrimination on the basis of “termination of pregnancy”—an action that could ...
