The ACLU of Pennsylvania

A Legacy of LGBQT Liberty

 

For decades, the ACLU of Pennsylvania has provided legal and advocacy support for those who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Queer, and Transgender. The ACLU-PA recognizes that LGBQT individuals experience a high rate of discrimination and injustice and we are committed to combating these injustices through litigation, legislation, organizing, communications, and policy advocacy. By naming and identifying injustices, we hope to inform the public on how the LGBQT communities are impacted and how LGBQT communities have had our civil liberties violated.

Whichever the battle, the ACLU of PA has vowed to protect the civil liberties of ALL Pennsylvanians through advocacy, education and litigation.
