My Interests

Whether it’s making a future with your partner or making the grade at school, Lambda Legal leads the fight so all of us can live our lives and pursue our dreams without having to face barriers because we’re gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or have HIV.

Lambda Legal carries out its legal work principally through test cases selected for the likelihood of their success in establishing positive legal precedents that will affect LGBT people and those with HIV. We pursue litigation in every area of the law that affects communities we represent, such as discrimination in employment, housing and the military; HIV-related discrimination; parenting and relationship issues; equal marriage rights; immigration issues and antigay initiatives.

Lambda Legal’s work ultimately benefits all people, for it helps to fashion a society that is truly diverse and tolerant. Our overall mission to combat sexual orientation discrimination in this country has become an intrinsic part of the struggle for civil rights.
