12 far-right groups with extreme anti-LGBTQ+ positions that threaten civil rightshttps://www.advocate.com/news/far-right-anti-lgbtq-groups#rebelltitem1 🔗Christopher Wiggins (12 Nov 2025)
In recent years, a network of well-funded conservative organizations has driven a coordinated campaign to roll back LGBTQ+ rights under the guise of "religious freedom," "parental rights," and "protecting children." From powerful think tanks shaping federal policy to activist groups organizing school-board battles, these entities share a common goal: dismantling legal protections and social acceptance for queer and transgender Americans. Their influence now reaches from the U.S. Supreme Court to small-town classrooms, reshaping the nation's political landscape. The following groups represent the most prominent and persistent forces targeting LGBTQ+ equality across the United States.
Alliance Defending Freedom has become the Christian right's most powerful legal engine for dismantling LGBTQ+ protections.
The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 outlined a comprehensive plan for a future Republican administration under President Donald Trump — one that would systematically strip LGBTQ+ people from federal protections.
Founded in the 1980s amid the religious right's rise, the Family Research Council helped define modern anti-LGBTQ+ politics.
Liberty Counsel has built its brand by litigating to enshrine "religious freedom" at the expense of LGBTQ+ people.
Turning Point USA... emerged from campus conservatism but evolved into a major cultural war machine.
Born out of pandemic-era school-board protests, Moms for Liberty quickly became a national political force opposing LGBTQ+ visibility in classrooms.
The American Principles Project calls itself "the premier organization defending the American family," but its campaigns center on limiting trans rights.
The Family Policy Alliance acts as a national hub for dozens of state-level "family policy councils" advancing anti-LGBTQ+ laws.
The American College of Pediatricians presents itself as a medical authority but represents only a small ideological splinter from mainstream pediatrics.
Founded by Russell Vought, now the Trump administration's budget director, the Center for Renewing America serves as a think tank for "anti-woke" governance.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The article provides more information about each group. At a minimum, I consider this to be a list of organizations undeserving of support.
