Policies

President Eric Teetsel named a Kansas bathroom bill — legislation to exclude transgender individuals from restrooms which conform to their gender identity — the organization's "number one policy priority" in 2017.[3] Teetsel provided the Kansas legislature with a resolution to "oppose all efforts to validate a transgender identity."[4]

The organization has also advocated against legal same-sex marriage,[5] and believes that business owners should be allowed to decline service to LGBT customers.[6]

Teetsel describes these policies as "an important way we demonstrate love for our neighbors."[3]
