ACLU (LGBTQ Rights)

The ACLU Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Project seeks to create a just society for all LGBTQ people regardless of race or income. Through litigation, lobbying, public education, and organizing, we work to build a country where our communities can live openly without discrimination and enjoy equal rights, personal autonomy, and freedom of expression and association. If you’ve been discriminated against based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or HIV status, the ACLU wants to hear about it.

Advocates for Trans Equality (formerly the National Center for Transgender Equality and the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund)

Leveraging decades of experience on the frontlines of power, we shift government and society towards a future where we are no less than equal. A4TE was founded in 2024 as the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) and Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund (TLDEF), two long-time champions for the trans community, merged together as one organization. A4TE builds on their successes to boldly imagine a world where trans people live our lives joyfully and without barriers.

Established in 2015, the committee’s purpose is to monitor the status of LGBTQ issues within the historical profession, recommend policies and best practices in that regard, and undertake projects addressing the status of both LGBTQ historians and LGBTQ history.
