Christian University Forced to Choose between  

God and the LGBTQ 

Right now, a single federal court case is testing whether Christian institutions must adopt and promote LGBTQ ideology. I recently presented oral arguments at the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Virginia. Constitutional experts expect that this case may well wind up at the U.S. Supreme Court.

With the help of the ACLU, Jonathan Zinski is SUING to force one of the nation’s largest Christian universities to employ drag queens and promote trans ideology.

Don’t let the ACLU force Christian schools to abandon their Christian doctrine and promote transgenderism! Support our legal fund today and DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT with our Challenge Grant!

In Zinski v. Liberty University, the ACLU is asking the courts to force a private Christian university to abandon its own Christian doctrinal standards when it comes to employment. If they succeed, the consequences won’t stop with Liberty University.

Churches, Christian schools, ministries, and faith-based employers nationwide will be FORCED to hire trans and crossdressing men and thus be forced to abandon their Christian beliefs to survive!

Liberty University did not change its beliefs. It did not single anyone out unfairly. It simply upheld the Bible-based doctrinal standards every employee agrees to follow.

Liberty University’s doctrine is crystal clear: God created us in His image, male and female, and to identify as anything other than how God created you is a sin. Jonathan Zinski lied when he affirmed Liberty’s doctrinal statement. He had been taking female hormones for months.

When the 90-day probation period ran its course, he told Liberty that he had been taking female hormones and was “transitioning” to “female,” changing his name to “Ellenor,” and attending an LGBTQ-affirming church. He wanted Liberty to set aside its doctrine in favor of his “church."

Liberty reminded Zinski of the doctrinal statement and terminated him.

Now that decision has turned into a national legal battle over whether religious institutions retain the right to operate according to their faith.

Liberty Counsel represents LU in this case, and I recently stood before the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals to defend this fundamental freedom — not just for Liberty University, but for every faith-based organization in America.

If the court rules against Liberty, it won’t matter what your church believes, what your school teaches, or your ministry’s doctrine. A dangerous precedent will be set: government authorities — not religious institutions — will decide which beliefs are allowed in faith-based workplaces.

We cannot let that happen.

That’s why I’m asking you to stand with us today.

Please give now to defend religious freedom. Every gift will be DOUBLED by a special Challenge Grant — but only while matching funds remain.

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then ...” (Gal. 5:1).

Your support enables Liberty Counsel to marshal the legal research, appellate advocacy, and constitutional expertise required to win this case and protect faith-based institutions across the nation.

The stakes could not be higher. Once religious freedom is lost in hiring decisions, it will not be easily restored.

Make your tax-deductible gift today and help us secure lasting protections for Christian institutions before it’s too late.

Thank you for standing firm for faith, freedom, and the Constitution.
