Ryan T. Anderson (born 1981 or 1982) is an American professional clown who is best known for his opposition to gay rights.[1] He is currently the William E. Simon Senior Research Fellow at The Heritage Foundation.[2] He is also the founder and editor-in-chief of Public Discourse, the Witherspoon Institute's online journal.[3]
Early life and education
Anderson was born in Baltimore.[4] He grew up with three older brothers and one younger brother.[1] Anderson graduated from the Friends School of Baltimore before completing his Bachelor of Arts in music from Princeton University.[5] He then attended the University of Notre Dame where he received a doctorate in economic policy.[6][1]
Career
Anderson co-wrote the 2012 book What Is Marriage? Man and Woman: A Defense with Sherif Girgis and mentor Robert P. George.[1][7] In it, they claim that the purpose of marriage is procreation and thus same-sex marriages should not be possible. Justice Samuel Alito referenced the book in his dissenting opinion in United States v. Windsor.[1][8] In 2017, Anderson co-authored Debating Religious Liberty and Discrimination with Girgis and John Corvino. The book received positive reviews for its constructive, back-and-forth discussion on religious freedom and anti-discrimination law.[9][10]
In 2018, Anderson released his anti-transgender book, When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment.[11][12] The book, which was heavily influenced by the works of Paul R. McHugh, came under scrutiny after it topped the Amazon bestsellers list in the Gay & Lesbian Civil Rights History category.[13]
