New: Click here for the Joint Statement regarding the Solomon Amendment (MS Word file)

Lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgender and gender variant people are routinely denied equal rights under the law. We may not marry our life partners in almost all states, immigrate legally with our partners, serve our country in the military, and, in many cases, we lack basic rights to sexual privacy. In most of the United States, discrimination against us in housing, education and employment is routine and often legal. As we move to correct these injustices, we face a tremendous backlash of hatred and ignorance in the streets, at the ballot box and in the courts. It is critical that law students make strong efforts to educate the legal, academic, and wider communities about LGBT rights and concerns. Moreover, it is equally important that law students struggling with their sexual orientation and/or gender identity be able to obtain strong and visible support from their school community.
