- Lawrence v. Texas, which overturned all remaining state sodomy laws in the United States. Many consider it the most significant LGBT rights breakthrough of our time.
- In re Guardianship of Sharon Kowalski, in which a woman fought for eight years to bring her life partner home after a tragic car accident.
