#2835: Kellie Fiedorek

Kellie Fiedorek is senior counsel and government affairs director for the hate group Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) and a general dime-a-dozen fundie wingnut who has served on numerous panels and boards of groups defending the usual array of wingnut causes. Fiedorek is the kind of person who claims that opposing LGBT equality is doing just what Rosa Parks did and that the “agenda to expand sexual liberty and redefine marriage” puts religious liberty in “great peril”, primarily because “religious liberty” for Fiedorek means fundies having the right to violate the Establishment clause and to discriminate against those who disagree with them. Given that definition, Fiedorek predictably tries to argue that religious people are the ones being marginalized in the US today, and she is a major proponent of the Christian persecution in the US myth.

Diagnosis: More or less indistinguishable from a large number of similar wingnuts, so she doesn’t need a very substantial entry. But like those others, Fiedorek is zealous. She also wields some authority, and the ADF is a major player in current efforts to combat liberty, decency and civilization.
