Alliance Defending Freedom

Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is a global legal advocacy organization that promotes what it describes as a Christian view of sexuality, marriage, and religious freedom. It provides legal support and resources to individuals and groups involved in cases that align with its mission. ADF is newsworthy due to its involvement in several high-profile legal battles and controversies. Recent events include ADF's support for a South Australian woman challenging school presentation content, its backing of a pastor accused of inciting religious hatred in the UK, and its involvement in cases concerning transgender athletes' rights before the US Supreme Court. These cases highlight ADF's active role in shaping legal and social debates surrounding LGBTQ+ rights, religious expression, and abortion access, making it a significant player in ongoing cultural and political conflicts.
