"[People living with HIV] have to meet the military’s other criteria, as far as strength and fitness...So why would you exclude them? Especially, why would you exclude them now, when you’re having [recruitment] challenges?” – Gregory Nevins, Lambda Legal Senior Counsel
Military asks Fourth Circuit to let it disqualify applicants with HIV
The military argues that HIV-positive service members pose significant financial and logistical burdens, while advocates argue the concerns are outdated thanks to modern science.

For the first time since 1993, the Trump admin has issued instructions *not* to commemorate World AIDS Day.

Erasing our history won’t erase the epidemic. Silence = Death.

Today, however, Lambda Legal honors the ongoing fight for the rights and dignity of people living with HIV. ❤️

ICYMI: This week, we filed a friend-of-the-court brief on behalf of GLMA: Health Professionals Advancing LGBTQ+ Equality, urging the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit to uphold a district court ruling in APHA v. NIH and Massachusetts v. Kennedy. 🧵
Graphic with a “BREAKING NEWS” banner. Below white text on a dark blue overlay reads: “Lambda Legal Urges First Circuit to Affirm Ruling Invalidating NIH Directives Prohibiting Funding for LGBTQI+ Health Research.” In the background, a lab technician wearing gloves and a mask works with test tubes near a microscope. Graphic with white text on a dark blue background. Quote reads: “By decreeing that it will not fund research addressing the health needs of LGBTQI+ people, NIH turned its back on our community and ran afoul of its statutory obligations to fund research addressing health disparities of minority population as well as sexual and gender minorities. If a presidential administration can erase an entire field of study because it disapproves of the people being studied, then no community is safe, and no scientific field is secure.” Below the quote, the text reads: “Omar Gonzalez-Pagan, Lambda Legal Senior Counsel and Health Care Strategist.” The Lambda Legal logo appears in the bottom right corner.

TDOR is not just about remembrance.

It's a call to action to interrogate + dismantle oppressive systems that perpetuate this violence, which disproportionately impacts Black trans women. Today and every day, we recommit ourselves to fighting for a world in which all TGNCNBI people can thrive.

It's been 3 years since a mass shooting claimed the lives of 5 people at Club Q, the LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado. 

We send our condolences to the LGBTQ+ community in Colorado Springs, whose lives were forever changed by this horrific act of hate. ❤️

Nine months into Trump’s second term and the federal courts are under serious threat from a slew of new anti-civil rights judges.  
 
Read our latest blog to learn why the harmful agenda of Trump’s judges matters for LGBTQ+ people, and what you can do to fight back.

Purple background with text that reads, "Why the federal courts matter for LGBTQ+ people." Text that reads, "About 9.3% of the U.S. population now identifies as LGBTQ+. There are always cases about LGBTQ+ rights winding through the federal courts. The circuit and district courts hear many more cases than the Supreme Court and actually set precedent for whole regions of the country." Quote from Ethan Rice, Lambda Legal Senior Attorney, that reads, "Many of the judges and justices nominated and confirmed during the first Trump presidency have already shown their hostility to LGBTQ+ rights. Regrettably, there are more anti-LGBTQ+ judges who will be taking the bench soon."

In our latest blog, Camilla Taylor, @lambdalegalclo.bsky.social details the decades-long fight for marriage equality, and what we need to do as a community to continue protecting the hard-won right.

The Fight to Protect Marriage Equality Continues — And Needs All of Us to Rise Quote from Camilla Taylor that reads, "We knew our opponents would not simply give up and disappear after our [Obergefell] victory before the U.S. Supreme Court. Securing the freedom to marry and all it should guarantee would require more than a court decision, no matter how significant. It would require a community determined to live with pride and joy, and to defend what we have gained from the inevitable attacks. So, let’s take a day to celebrate Kim Davis’s long overdue descent into irrelevance. And then let’s brace ourselves for the tough fight ahead."
