  • Lambda Legal is a national organization defending the civil rights of LGBTQ+ people and those with HIV via impact litigation, policy advocacy, and education. They handle discrimination in employment, housing, healthcare, education, family law (marriage, parenting, custody), criminal justice, and access to gender-affirming care. They identify strong claims, pursue precedent-setting systemic cases, and coordinate with local counsel.

    If you face discrimination, denial of medically necessary care, wrongful termination or eviction, or a case with broader civil-rights implications, contact Lambda Legal for intake to clarify options and pursue legal support.
