American Family Association

The American Family Association (AFA) is a 501(c)(3) organization rooted in Christian fundamentalist beliefs, located in the United States. It actively opposes LGBT rights, pornography, and abortion, while also addressing various other public policy matters. Established in 1977 by Donald Wildmon under the name National Federation for Decency, the AFA is based in Tupelo, Mississippi. As a part of the religious right, the AFA describes itself as "a Christian organization advocating for the biblical principles of decency in American culture, with a focus on television and media." Over time, it shifted its emphasis to address "moral issues that affect families."

Redeeming lost souls was not an easy thing, even for the Creator of the universe. It required suffering by the Son of God. There was deep humiliation at the hands of worthless men and betrayal by close friends; there was excruciating pain and anguish, followed by the torment of crucifixion.

After years of national psychological manipulation and social engineering, President Trump’s executive order on the biological realities of the two sexes was a welcome change of direction.
