Related: About this forumRepublican Attorney General candidate, Doug Wardlow, lists himself, as legal counsel for
Alliance Defending Freedom.
And what, you may ask, is the "Alliance Defending Freedom"?
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center it is:
Founded by some 30 leaders of the Christian Right, the Alliance Defending Freedom is a legal advocacy and training group that has supported the recriminalization of homosexuality in the U.S. and criminalization abroad; has defended state-sanctioned sterilization of trans people abroad; has linked homosexuality to pedophilia and claims that a homosexual agenda will destroy Christianity and society. ADF also works to develop religious liberty legislation and case law that will allow the denial of goods and services to LGBT people on the basis of religion. Since the election of President Donald Trump, the ADF has become one of the most influential groups informing the administrations attack on LGBT rights working with an ally in Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
BTW Dougie also represented the Belle Plaine, Minnesota Veterans Club in its fight to restore a statue depicting a soldier kneeling before a gravesite marked by a cross to Belle Plaines Veterans Memorial Park.

Sad to say,Minnesota sure has it's share of hate filled right wing Fundies. Sounds like a personal friend of Franson. Stearns County?

this tool, Wardlow, is from Eagan in Dakota County (for anyone not familiar with the state, that puts him in the suburban metro area.)
