The Christian Legal Centre (CLC) is a private company which was set up in December 2007[1] which acts in a number of high-profile cases on behalf of Evangelical Christians in the United Kingdom. It has lost most of its legal cases.[citation needed] Observers believe the centre has adopted tactics from wealthy evangelical groups in the US, notably the powerful Alliance Defense Fund, and raised questions about its funding.[2][3] They are linked to the Christian Concern campaigning organisation.[4] It opposes homosexuality, same-sex marriage, pre-marital sex, and pornography.[5]
