Lambda Legal Continues Their Wonderful Work into 2007
From The Desk of Kevin CathCart, Executive Director
December 19, 2006
What a year 2006 has turned out to be! In the past several weeks alone Lambda Legal has won vital court battles on behalf of our families. Every day we are making the world a better place for lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people and those with HIV.
I am tremendously proud of this work and thankful to our members who have helped make it possible. As we approach the final days of 2006, please consider joining Lambda Legal with a generous year-end donation today.
Some of Lambda Legal’s victories this year have been groundbreaking, while others continue to push the law forward. All of them further our primary goal: making the case for equality.
* We secured employee domestic partner benefits at a university in Ohio and continued our triumphant run of defending people who’ve been fired because they have HIV. [Read more workplace success stories.]
* A big win this year allowed a group of charter school students to form a gay-straight alliance after a protracted fight. [Read more LGBTQ youth highlights.]
Help us make the case for equality tomorrow with a special tax-deductible gift today.
* Important victories on the parenting front helped reunite two lesbian mothers with their children and solidify LGBT parenting protections. [Read more parenting achievements.]
*In our successful New Jersey marriage case, the state Supreme Court unanimously ruled that same-sex couples must have equal protection under the law and moved the national fight for full equality to the next level. The decision led to quick passage of a statewide civil unions bill. [Read more on relationship work.]
*We’ve also made remarkable strides on HIV issues, transgender rights, judicial fairness and constitutional issues. [ <http://ga4.org/ct/L1_GIW61fmuy/> Read more about the breadth of Lambda Legal’s work.]
