Lambda Legal is the oldest and largest national legal organization whose mission is to achieve full recognition of the civil rights of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people and everyone living with HIV through impact litigation, education, and public policy work.
Lambda Legal has a proud history of challenging policies and government agencies that enable discrimination or target LGBTQ+ people and people living with HIV (PLHIV) for abuse. Lambda Legal has challenged criminal laws directed at or disproportionately applied against members of our community, and has sought recourse when legal authorities violate the rights of LGBTQ+ people and people living with HIV.
