Press Release

Lambda Legal today praised President Joe Biden and U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra for swiftly responding with a series of actions to shield and protect youth from the onslaught of discriminatory attacks hurled at them by statehouses across the country and by state leaders like Texas Gov.

"We look forward to continuing the fight for all Texas families.”

Lambda Legal, the American Civil Liberties Union, and ACLU of Texas today asked a Texas state court to block the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) from investigating parents who work with medical professionals to provide their adolescent children with medically necessary gender-affirming care.

"All of us deserve and must insist upon a Supreme Court whose members are committed to upholding the Constitution, including its sacred guarantees of liberty, equality, and justice for all."

“SB 435 irrationally and unlawfully targets some of Georgia’s most vulnerable young people—transgender students.”

"It seems Gov. Abbott and AG Paxton are intent on proving themselves to be the harshest in their attacks on LGBTQ people and particularly transgender youth."

“I hope that this court sees this exclusion for what it is, discrimination, with painful consequences.”

Court grants review sought by Denver-based Anti-LGBT website designer. “It is time once and for all to put to rest these businesses’ attempts to undermine the civil rights of LGBTQ people in the name of religion.”

Lambda Legal is pleased to announce it has elected Lauren Mutti to serve as the new Chair of its Board of Directors. Ms. Mutti is an expert in labor and discrimination law, and she previously served as a Vice-Chair of Lambda Legal’s Board of Directors.
