      <Description>LEGAL PROGRAMLAMBDA LEGAL'S LGBT AND HIV LAW REFORM, POLICY, AND EDUCATION WORK ENCOMPASSES A WIDE RANGE OF AREAS, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE CONSTITUTIONAL LAW ISSUES; RELATIONSHIP PROTECTIONS, INCLUDING THE FREEDOM TO MARRY; SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER IDENTITY AND EXPRESSION, AND HIV-RELATED DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT, BENEFITS, EDUCATION, HOUSING, INSURANCE, PUBLIC ACCOMMODATIONS, FOSTER CARE, AND CRIMINAL AND JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEMS; CHILD CUSTODY, VISITATION AND ADOPTION; ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE; THE RIGHTS OF SPECIFIC VULNERABLE POPULATIONS SUCH AS LGBT YOUTH IN SCHOOLS AND SENIORS; PRIVACY; IMMIGRATION RIGHTS INCLUDING ASYLUM; AND COMPREHENSIVE PROTECTIONS AGAINST HARASSMENT AND VIOLENCE. LAMBDA LEGAL HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN MANY LANDMARK CIVIL RIGHTS CASES, INCLUDING AS THE LITIGATORS WHO WON THE U.S. SUPREME COURT DECISION IN LAWRENCE V. TEXAS (STRIKING DOWN ALL REMAINING STATE SODOMY LAWS IN THE NATION), AND AS COUNSEL IN THE SUPREME COURT CASE ROMER V. EVANS (FINDING INITIATIVES BARRING SEXUAL ORIENTATION ANTI-DISCRIMINATION PROTECTIONS UNCONSTITUTIONAL). WE HAVE ALSO WON LANDMARK VICTORIES IN GLENN V. BRUMBY (AFFIRMING THAT DISCRIMINATION AGAINST TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS IN PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL); NABOZNY V.

WE LITIGATED OR JOINED CASES IN AT LEAST 27 STATES AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, AND PARTICIPATED BY FILING "FRIEND-OF-THE-COURT" BRIEFS IN TWO MAJOR U.S. SUPREME COURT CASES. LAMBDA LEGAL ALSO RESPONDED TO MORE THAN 6,000 CALLERS TO OUR LEGAL HELP DESK WITH INFORMATION, MATERIALS, AND OTHER FORMS OF ASSISTANCE, AND ASSISTED IN PUBLIC POLICY INITIATIVES AT THE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LEVELS.AMONG OTHER SUCCESSES IN 2012, WE WON A FEDERAL TRIAL COURT RULING THAT THE FEDERAL DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE ACT (DOMA) IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL; WON A FEDERAL APPEALS COURT DECISION MAINTAINING FAMILY HEALTH COVERAGE FOR LESBIAN AND GAY STATE EMPLOYEES IN ARIZONA; CHALLENGED WORKPLACE DISCRIMINATION AND SECURED A SETTLEMENT ON BEHALF OF A LESBIAN COMMUNITY COLLEGE INSTRUCTOR DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BY HER TEXAS EMPLOYER; SUCCESSFULLY DEFENDED A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT'S FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION IN OHIO; HELPED A LESBIAN ADD HER WIFE TO THEIR LEASE AFTER A NEW YORK LANDLORD HAD REFUSED TO DO SO; AND FOUGHT FOR HEALTHCARE RIGHTS FOR A TRANSGENDER EMPLOYEE OF THE STATE OF OREGON. WE FILED NEW MARRIAGE EQUALITY CASES IN NEVADA AND ILLINOIS; WITH OUR ONGOING CASE IN NEW JERSEY, LAMBDA LEGAL IS NOW FIGHTING FOR MARRIAGE EQUALITY IN THREE STATES. WE WON A RULING FROM MARYLAND'S HIGH COURT THAT MARRIAGES LEGALLY ENTERED BY SAME-SEX COUPLES IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS MUST BE RECOGNIZED FOR ALL PURPOSES IN THAT STATE, AND ALSO HELPED SECURE A NEW YORK HIGH COURT RULING THAT SALIVA CANNOT BE CONSIDERED A "DANGEROUS INSTRUMENT" FOR PURPOSES OF NEW YORK'S AGGRAVATED ASSAULT LAW, RESULTING IN THE RELEASE FROM PRISON OF A MAN WITH HIV WHO HAD BEEN SERVING EXTRA TIME BASED ON THE FAULTY DEFINITION. WE FILED AMICUS BRIEFS IN TWO MAJOR SUPREME COURT CASES THAT YIELDED VICTORIES UPHOLDING THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT AND STRIKING DOWN SECTIONS OF ARIZONA'S DISCRIMINATORY IMMIGRATION LAW.</Description>
