Marriage on the front lines

Opponents of marriage are seldom discrete about their intentions regarding the future of marriage: make it disappear.

In addition to their legal attempts to impose same-sex "marriage" on America, advocates of homosexual behavior are actively working to win over the next generation of decision makers: our children.

In California, a new state law eliminates a school's ability to make distinctions based on biological sex. This law – a gender "free for all" – requires that anything that might promote a "discriminatory bias" toward someone's sexual identity or sexual orientation be removed from the curriculum – all the way down to kindergarten. This means that if this law stands:
 
. . . textbooks will be rewritten to eliminate any endorsement of sex roles

. . . teachers cannot teach that a student's sex at birth is a student's true sex

. . . on demand, boys can now be homecoming "queen" and girls can be homecoming "king"
This law could impact students and families across the country. It seems unlikely that producers of textbooks will create a separate version solely for use in California, which means children throughout the country could be taught that wrong behavior is legitimate, or even desirable. Inevitably, such indoctrination will change the attitudes of young people toward homosexual behavior . . . and that will change the whole moral fabric and future of America.

ADF has filed suit with our allies, challenging the constitutionality of this dangerous law. If this effort fails, we will find ourselves defending Christian families persecuted by the state for refusing to sacrifice their religious freedom.


While the situation is serious, we are confident that by God's grace and your support, we will prevail. During the past 10 years ADF has been a part of 41 cases involving same-sex "marriage," winning 33 of them outright. Two cases were a "tie," and only one was lost (in Massachusetts, where the commowealth's Supreme Judicial Court used international law to fabricate same-sex "marriage"). Decisions are still pending in several states. Because of this work – made possible by your support – 45 states now legally protect marriage as the union of one man and one woman.

Victory is possible!  But we need your continued support.  By making your online gift of $35 or more today, you not only provide the critical resources needed to defend marriage and the family in the courtroom, but you'll receive a free copy of The Homosexual Agenda, a book co-written by ADF President Alan Sears. This book is a must-read for Christians concerned about attempts to redefine marriage. It clearly details the goals of the ACLU and its allies and will help you understand the importance of defending marriage and the family...our religious freedom depends on our action.
