Jesus-focused ‘He Gets Us’ Super Bowl ads reportedly have donors with anti-LGBTQ, anti-abortion ties

The Jesus-focused “He Gets Us” ads that aired during Sunday’s Super Bowl LVII were funded in part by groups that donated sizable sums to anti-LGBTQ and anti-abortion efforts, according to reports.

The ad campaign promoting Christianity is part of the Servant Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provided more than $50 million to the conservative Christian group Alliance Defending Freedom from 2018 to 2020, the political magazine Jacobin reported.

Alliance Defending Freedom is described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a “hate group” that’s spread lies about the LGBTQ community and supported laws against LGBTQ rights, according to a 2020 article published by the law center.
