At first glance the opening page of the Alliance Defense Fund's website only hints at its anti-homosexual agenda. But a closer examination reveals the site's true purpose.
A book called The Homosexual Agenda is advertised. It promises to expose the ways in which "homosexuals and their advocates are increasingly successful in efforts to recruit children and turn their hearts against their parents."
The site lists allied groups which promote a mixture of marriage, the family unit and Christian decency.
The ADF also runs the Campus Crusade for Christ, which wants to "turn lost students into Christ-centred laborers" at American universities and a National Litigation Academy to instruct sympathetic lawyers
The group says its function is to defend religious freedom and the sanctity of life as well as protecting "traditional family values."
"The family is the most basic unit of any society and the foundation of America," it reports. "Without healthy, functioning families, a culture cannot survive. God has defined the ideal for family as one man and one woman, married for life, and those related to them by blood, adoption, or marriage."
