Shocking cases are at the forefront of Liberty Counsel’s current legal load
Liberty Counsel’s cases this year reflect the godless insanity happening in our culture right now. Our case list includes lawsuits involving: a state program that performs chemical and surgical “trans” services on kids against parents’ will, a YMCA that refuses to fire a child predator, a judge that believes she can ban a child from going to church, and ACLU attempts to force Christian institutions to promote the trans agenda.
We need your help like never before.

In the lower courts...
State-sanctioned secret sterilization programs
International Partners for Ethical Care Inc. v. Ferguson
The State of Washington is “transitioning” minor children, including chemical and surgical sterilization and mutilation, without parental consent or even notification. Parents are fighting back, suing the State of Washington and its governor, Bob Ferguson, for this outrageous policy. We filed our brief to request review at the U.S. Supreme Court.
Child predators in the bathroom
Ohio YMCA
Liberty Counsel is battling an Ohio YMCA where an adult male employee is targeting minor girls in the YMCA’s care. Not only has the man, while wearing a women’s bathing suit, been allowed to prance around poolside while visibly aroused, he has also invaded the girls’ showers, caressing himself and pressing into the girls. But because the man claims to be a “woman,” the YMCA refuses to correct, discipline, or fire this child predator. Liberty Counsel represents a 15-year-old girl and her family in this matter, and we are also pushing for a full criminal investigation into this child predator.
No Church, No Bible court order — Maine Supreme Court
Bickford v. Bradeen
When Ava was 11, she wanted to be baptized at her mother's church. Her noncustodial father, a nonbeliever who apparently hates God and the Bible, ran to court to stop her baptism. In one of the most outrageously antireligious court orders I have ever seen, a Maine judge ruled that church could be “psychologically harmful” and banned a perfectly fit mother from taking her own daughter to church. I delivered oral arguments before the Maine Supreme Court on November 13, and we await the court’s decision. If the Maine Supreme Court rules against Emily and Ava, we will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Battling attempts to force ministries to promote LGBTQ
Zinksi v. Liberty University — Oral argument in March
Jonathan Zinksi and the ACLU are trying to force Liberty University (LU) to replace Christian doctrine with LGBTQ ideology and specifically promote transgenderism. This case has the potential to reach the Supreme Court. I will argue this case on March 17.
Defending Christians from Forced Gender Ideology
Multiple cases, including Grossenbach v. University of Arizona, Maj. Worley v. Idaho National Guard, Tarpo v. Clackamas County, Oregon, and more.
Liberty Counsel is defending teachers and parents from the LGBTQ’s attempt to force participation in their twisted gender ideology. From university professors and military members fired or punished for speaking out against LGBTQ indoctrination, to pastors who have had their real estate licenses revoked because their churches teach God’s design for men and women, to social workers who objected to government-mandated LGBTQ policies, we are fighting for safety and sanity in our schools and culture. We have hundreds of cases along these lines.
Before the U.S. Supreme Court. . .
Religious Discrimination
Does v. NY Gov. Hochul
Liberty Counsel represents New York health care workers forced out of business and jobs due to NY Gov. Kathy Hochul's violation of religious discrimination protections in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Hochul ordered businesses to violate federal law by refusing ALL religious accommodations to the COVID shots or face fines and loss of their business licenses. Hochul denied their federal rights and ordered health care employers to have a 100% vax rate and deny every religious accommodation request. Failure to comply would result in enormous daily fines and loss of their business licenses. We are awaiting the U.S. Solicitor General’s brief to the High Court. If that brief is favorable, the High Court will take up the case.
In our 37-year history, Liberty Counsel has won 40 cases that we have argued or briefed before the U.S. Supreme Court and thousands of other cases in the lower courts. This year’s docket is a reflection of the forces of darkness seeking to destroy families, children, and humanity itself.
We can stop them, but we need your help. The future of the American culture, I truly believe, depends on our success. Please support our legal fund today. DOUBLE YOUR GIFT with our Challenge Grant.
