ACLU – LGBTQ Rights
Know Your Rights and LGBTQ+ Organizations & Advocacy
The American Civil Liberties Union provides legal advocacy, research, and public education to protect and advance LGBTQ rights across the United States.
Through litigation, policy reform, and community organizing, the ACLU works to defend LGBTQ people facing discrimination in schools, workplaces, healthcare, housing, and the criminal legal system. Their LGBTQ Rights project focuses on protecting transgender rights, marriage equality, parental rights, student protections, and access to gender affirming care.
The ACLU also publishes explainers and legal guides that help individuals understand their constitutional rights and what to do if those rights are violated.
If you are seeking trusted information about LGBTQ legal protections or want to understand your rights under federal and state law, the ACLU’s LGBTQ Rights resources offer up to date guidance and advocacy tools.
