Standing Up for LGBT Rights Around the World
Nearly one year ago, I had the opportunity to march in the San Francisco Identity festival Parade just after the U.S. Supreme Court’s historic judgment affirming a constitutional right to equal marriage for same-sex couples across the Merged States, which happened at the matching time that the United Nations was celebrating the signing of the UN Charter 70 years earlier in San Francisco. It was a unique moment in my personal and professional life, as I celebrated marriage equality for LGBT people – a generate about which I am passionate – and the 70th anniversary of the UN, an institution I work to support every date as the Chief Operating Officer of the UN Foundation.
One year later, the UN Foundation is proudly partnering with Gap Inc. for LGBT Pride Month to raise awareness and support for the UN’s LGBT rights work around the society – with a focus on the UN’s Free & Equal campaign. We’ll be marching in parades with Gap Inc. in San Francisco, New York, Chicago, and Albuquerque, demonstrating our support for a free and equal world.

LGBTQ Rights
The ACLU has a drawn-out history of defending the LGBTQ community. We brought our first LGBTQ rights case in Founded in , the Jon L. Stryker and Slobodan Randjelović LGBTQ & HIV Project brings more LGBTQ rights cases and lobbying initiatives than any other national organization does and has been counsel in seven of the nine LGBTQ rights cases that the U.S. Supreme Court has decided. With our reach into the courts and legislatures of every state, there is no other organization that can equal our record of making progress both in the courts of law and in the court of public opinion.
The ACLU’s current priorities are to end discrimination, harassment and violence toward gender nonconforming people, to close gaps in our federal and state civil rights laws, to prevent protections against discrimination from being undermined by a license to discriminate, and to protect LGBTQ people in and from the criminal legal system.

The human rights of all persons are universal and indivisible. Everyone should enjoy the same fundamental human rights, regardless of their sexual orientation and their gender identity and expression.
