Fighting for just policies
and freedom from persecution

We fight for humane immigration reform that is inclusive of LGBT people, raise awareness about the experiences and legal needs of LGBT immigrant communities and oppose immigration enforcement that deprives LGBT immigrants of dignity and justice. Lambda Legal will continue to represent LGBT immigrants fleeing persecution in their home countries; to challenge the abuse and sexual assault of LGBT and immigrants living with HIV in detention; and to educate diverse LGBT immigrant communities about their rights.
