You have a role to play. Help make sure that courts can continue to make decisions based on the federal and state constitutions and other laws – not politics or popular opinion. When courts rule in favor of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality, they sometimes face anti-court backlash, such as impeachment threats or proposed legislation to take courts out of the decision making process. Protect your rights by standing up for fair courts!
