"A powerful global organisation accused of peddling anti-gay hate has thrown
its support behind a South Australian woman who says her daughter was exposed
to inappropriate sexual content at school.
ADF International is the global arm of the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF),
which is based in the US. It describes itself as a global alliance focused on
the sanctity of life, religious freedom, freedom of speech, marriage, family
and parental rights that “advances the God-given right to live and speak the
truth”.
The ADF has been designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center
(SPLC), a label it rejects.
The SPLC has accused the ADF of supporting the criminalisation of gay sex,
defending state-sanctioned sterilisation of transgender people, claiming LGBTQ+
people are more likely to engage in paedophilia, and saying that “a ‘homosexual
agenda’ will destroy Christianity and society”.
“Since the election of President Trump, ADF has become one of the most
influential groups informing the administration’s attack on LGBTQ rights,” it
says."
