We filed our first LGBTQ-related lawsuit in 1936 after Lillian Hellman’s stage play "The Children’s Hour" was nearly banned in Boston due to “lesbian content.”

House Republicans just voted to strip gender-affirming care from trans people of all ages on Medicaid — part of a sweeping budget bill that attacks healthcare for over 10 million Americans.
This is not just cruel — it’s a step toward banning gender-affirming care entirely.

We are alarmed by the Trump administration’s latest escalation against Harvard University. International students are a vital part of our universities and our nation.
