In Brief: A Note From the Executive Director

Date:

12/08/2011

 

As the year draws to a close, we have plenty to celebrate. From the momentous court decision preserving family coverage for Arizona’s lesbian and gay state workers, to the landmark ruling this week in the Vandy Beth Glenn case, it’s been a year of incredible progress.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of Lambda Legal’s attorneys—and with the help of our friends and supporters—we fought and won many victories for LGBT people, for those living with HIV and for their families.

We defended the right of transgender people to receive medical care while incarcerated. We fought back an antigay group’s attempts to kill Wisconsin’s domestic partner registry. We’re suing Texas college officials who prevented a qualified candidate from interviewing for a permanent teaching position because of their belief that she’s a lesbian. And after a decade of fighting for marriage equality in New Jersey, we’re back in court to finish what we started.

You can find out more about our victories in Lambda Legal’s Year in Review 2011.

None of this work would be possible without our dedicated team of lawyers and educators, or without your support. As you make your gift list this season, remember that a gift to Lambda Legal is an investment in equality. Every penny helps our attorneys fight for your rights, livelihood and well-being—and those of the people you cherish. Keep our lawyers in court. Please make a gift today.

Wishing you and your family a joyous holiday and new year,

Kevin Cathcart.
