TDOR is not just about remembrance. It's a call to action to interrogate + dismantle oppressive systems that perpetuate this violence, which disproportionately impacts Black trans women. Today and every day, we recommit ourselves to fighting for a world in which all TGNCNBI people can thrive.

In a victory for the LGBTQ+ community––and everyone who believes in our Constitution and the rule of law––the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed that marriage equality is the law of the land.   Moments like this demand action from all of us. Help us protect equality today: lambdalegal.org/protectmarri...

Lambda Legal mourns the loss of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a towering figure in the fight for trans liberation. 💔 Miss Major's legacy will forever inspire our work. We commit to carrying forward her vision of a world where all trans people can live freely with dignity. Rest in power, Miss Major.

37 years ago, I helped create the nation’s first GSA. Today, thousands exist, thanks in part to cases like @lambdalegal.org’s Colín v. Orange Unified School District. Lambda will continue fighting for students’ rights. If you mess with LGBTQ+ kids, you’re going to have to come through us first.

Lambda Legal condemns the U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s announcement that it will exclude coverage for gender-affirming care for adults from the Federal Employee Health Benefits and Postal Service Health Benefits programs beginning in 2026. Our statement: lambdalegal.org/newsroom/us_...

We didn’t fight for over 20 years to win marriage equality to let it be taken away from us now. To all same-sex couples out there, I want you to know this: @lambdalegal.org has your back.

We mourn the passing of Michael Seltzer, a transformative leader in our movement. Michael’s passion and dedication touched countless lives, and his loss leaves a profound void in our community. His legacy of love, courage, and unwavering commitment to justice will continue to inspire us.

New op-ed by Kevin Jennings (@lambdalegalceo.bsky.social) that uses an important history lesson to push back against recent criticism for bringing our Skrmetti case to SCOTUS. “You choose cases based on whether they’re right — not whether they are popular." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

"If history teaches us anything, it is that you can’t wait until the U.S. is “ready” for civil rights: You must advocate, educate and litigate to help the country get ready... You choose cases based on whether they’re right — not whether they are popular. That’s how you create change." My latest ⬇️

In a series of decisions today, the U.S. Supreme Court announced that it has granted certiorari in two federal court cases involving transgender youth challenging bans on their participation in local school and college sports.

Today, the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Braidwood v. Kennedy, upholding essential protections for preventive services for HIV and other medical conditions and affirming that prevention and early detection of diseases save lives, improve health outcomes, and reduce long-term health outcomes.

The U.S. Supreme Court today ruled that not allowing parents to opt their children out of reading storybooks that are part of an LGBTQ+ inclusive literacy curriculum in the Montgomery County Public School system burdened their religious freedom.

Today, SCOTUS issued its ruling in U.S. v. Skrmetti, allowing a law to stand that blocks health care for trans youth in Tennessee. This decision is heartbreaking, but we won't stop fighting for trans people's freedom to shape their own futures. Read our full statement: tinyurl.com/2u3ncu9e

"If you’re okay with removing words and books, sooner or later it becomes ok to remove people. A genuine democracy must have a marketplace of ideas, not a monopoly where only one point of view is represented." – @lambdalegalceo.bsky.social via @advocate.com #Censorship #BookBans

While you don’t see many literal book burnings anymore, censorship is still occuring in the U.S., argues @lambdalegal.org's Kevin Jennings. 🔗: www.advocate.com/voices/it-st...

"When we present young people with a version of history from which they are completely absent, they have trouble envisioning a positive future for themselves." My latest op-ed: www.advocate.com/voices/why-h...

Today’s preliminary injunction hearing in our case, National Urban League v. Trump, made it clear that the President’s executive orders will cause irreparable harm to our communities. Remember: Lambda Legal has your back, and we will keep fighting to protect our hard-won progress.

Once you take away a right from a disenfranchised community, it becomes much easier to take away other rights from that community. Case in point—every state that has banned trans student athletes has gone on to enact other restrictions on trans rights. My message today: Lambda Legal has your back.

Before Donald Trump took to the floor of Congress tonight to villainize trans folks, a federal judge in Maryland issued a preliminary injunction in our case PFLAG v. Trump. If you’re keeping score, it’s now Lambda Legal 2, Donald Trump 0. We are FEARLESS. We are fighting back & we know how to win.
