Alliance Defending Freedom is on a winning streak. Once considered so extreme that its claims “bordered on the frivolous,” as one legal expert put it, the Christian advocacy group has now won 15 Supreme Court victories to date, including overturning Roe; its revenue has soared to more than $100 million a year; and its emboldened lawyers are taking on less explicitly religious concerns, including a recent battle over teaching about racism in schools. Any interest group mobilizes support more easily when there’s a looming threat, and in the past three decades, A.D.F. has found a perfect villain in the gay-rights movement. They’re “hellbent on eradicating L.G.B.T.Q. people from public life,” Sarah Warbelow, the legal director of the Human Rights Campaign, told David D. Kirkpatrick.

At A.D.F.’s headquarters in Virginia, Kristen Waggoner, the group’s chief executive and general counsel, told Kirkpatrick that the organization’s next priority is fighting “the radical gender-identity ideology infiltrating the law”—that is, transgender rights. Waggoner—who’s featured in the illustrated children’s book “She Is She” as a “justice-seeking lawyer”—said that her group has been inundated by complaints from parents about liberal policies regarding trans issues, many of them asking, “I just learned from the school district that they’re calling my daughter by a different name—what can I do?” Pushing to establish “parental rights” as a constitutional principle, A.D.F. has now taken on suits across the country opposing liberal policies about children and adolescents who identify as transgender. “I have tried to bring to A.D.F. a spirit of offense rather than defense,” Waggoner told Kirkpatrick. “I’d rather have the A.C.L.U. and Planned Parenthood worried about what we are doing—not the other way around.” At the link in our bio, David D. Kirkpatrick reports on how A.D.F.’s lawyers have played the culture wars to win legal battles. Photo illustration by Joan Wong (@jningwong); Source photographs from Getty.
