LGBTQ Rights

LGBTQ people deserve and are entitled to live full, equal, and authentic lives. However, discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity or expression remains pervasive across the country and New York State. Empire Justice’s LGBTQ Rights Project provides free legal services to low income lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex clients throughout New York State outside of NYC, with a focus on anti-discrimination in employment, education, housing, credit, and public accommodations.
