Family and Sexuality/Gender

• Marriage Redefinition: Efforts to redefine marriage undermine its God-ordained role as the union of one man and one woman.
• Gender Confusion: The promotion of gender identity ideologies in schools leads to confusion among children and erodes parental authority.
• Youth Vulnerability: Rising numbers of children and teens are being pressured into adopting LGBTQ+ identities, often encouraged by social media and activist groups.
• Religious Freedom Threats: Businesses, ministries, and schools face legal challenges for adhering to biblical standards of sexuality.

• Alabama schools face pressure to adopt policies affirming transgender identities, including bathroom and sports participation rules.
• Faith-based organizations risk losing government contracts or funding if they refuse to conform to LGBTQ+ mandates.
• Parents report feeling sidelined in decisions regarding their children’s education and counseling on sexuality.

God created humanity male and female (Genesis 1:27) and instituted marriage as the covenantal union of one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24). Deviations from this design lead to personal harm and societal instability. ALCAP affirms that every person is made in God’s image and deserves compassion, but truth must never be compromised.

• Support parental rights legislation ensuring families, not schools, guide children’s moral development.
• Oppose laws and mandates that force affirmation of unbiblical views on sexuality and gender.
• Defend the rights of churches, ministries, and schools to operate according to biblical convictions.
• Advocate for policies that protect female sports and privacy rights.

• For Lawmakers: Enact laws protecting parental rights and restricting gender ideology in schools.
• For Churches: Provide biblical teaching on sexuality and compassionate outreach to those struggling with identity.
• For Citizens: Stay informed about local school policies, speak at board meetings, and advocate for truth.
