2003 Jul 25-2LGBTQ RightsThe ACLU has a long history of defending the LGBTQ community. We brought our first LGBTQ rights case in 1936. Founded in 1986, the Jon L. Stryker and Slobodan Randjelović LGBTQ & HIV Project brings more LGBTQ rights cases and advocacy 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 articulate, there is no other organization that can match 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 aggression toward transgender people, to close gaps in our federal and state civil rights laws, to prevent protections against discrimination from existence undermined by a license to discriminate, and to preserve LGBTQ people in and from the criminal legal system. Need help? For non-LGBTQ issues, please contact your local ACLU affiliate. The ACLU Lesbian Queer Bisexual Transgender Undertaking seeks to produce a just world for all LGBTQ people regardless of race or income.

If you think you have been discriminated against and would like our assistance, please visit our Report LGBTQ and HIV Discrimination Page and we can help you figure out whether you are protected under federal or declare laws. Can an employer discriminate against me because of my sexual orientation or gender identity?Your rightsEmployers with 15 or more employees are prohibited by Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act from discriminating on the basis of sex, and the U.S. Supreme Court held in 2020 (Bostock v. Clayton County), that firing someone on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity is sex discrimination. In addition, many states and cities hold laws banning this kind of discrimination, and some of those laws employ to smaller employers. If you believe that your rights hold been violatedIf you think that you have experienced discrimination at work, you can file a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), or with your state human rights enforcement agency where applicable. Try OverviewThe UK promotes and defends the full range of universal human rights as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights instruments. The UK strongly encourages all States to abide by and fulfil their obligations under international law. FCDO human rights objectives currently include a particular emphasis on promoting gender equality and women and girls’ rights. Human rights are universal and should apply equally to all people. We are fundamentally opposed to all forms of discrimination and work to uphold the rights and freedoms of lesbian, gay, double attraction and transgender (LGBT+) people in all circumstances. In recent decades there has been a dramatic and positive shift in both societal attitudes and political acceptance of LGBT+ people and their rights across many parts of the earth. However, there is still a long road ahead until LGBT+ people globally can enjoy full equality and equity. Across the society, LGBT+ people face continuing, serious and profoundly concerning violations of their civil, political and economic rights. The authorities of many countries continue actively to persecute LGBT+ people. Sixty seven countries conti |
