FarRight Groups Surge Into National View in Charlottesville The New

By  Prof. Pedro Altenwerth

A far-right group used fake claims to win anti-LGBTQ lawsuits, according to a new report. The report, which was released by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), found that the group, Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), used "deceptive and misleading" tactics to win cases against LGBTQ people.

The SPLC's report is based on an analysis of more than 100 cases that ADF has litigated since 2012. The report found that ADF has repeatedly used "junk science" and "bogus legal arguments" to win cases against LGBTQ people. In one case, ADF argued that a transgender student could not use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity because it would violate the privacy of other students. The court rejected ADF's argument, but the case highlights the group's willingness to use any means necessary to discriminate against LGBTQ people.

The SPLC's report is a reminder of the dangers of far-right groups like ADF. These groups are using the courts to attack LGBTQ people and undermine their rights. It is important to be aware of these groups and their tactics so that we can fight back against their efforts to discriminate against LGBTQ people.
