NCLR, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, just put this vid out and it is incredibly important.
"A parent's love has the power to change the world. Find out the facts and how you can protect access to trans healthcare at healthcareiscaring.org. #HealthcareIsCaring"
An attorney at the National Center for Lesbian Rights writes about the effect that other laws limiting the discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity have had in other states.
The suit could make the government reveal how serious it is about enforcing Trump’s tweeted diktat.
The suit’s constitutional theories are especially compelling in light of the unprecedented nature of Trump’s policy: Never before has the Pentagon invited a new group of individuals to serve, then broken its promise and purged them from the ranks based solely on political judgment. The due process concerns raised by such a move are heightened by troops’ reliance interest. It is one thing to prohibit transgender people from enrolling in the military in the first place. To invite enrolled trans troops to come out, then expel them for making that decision on the basis of mere animus would seem to push the limits of due process. As a general rule, the government may not extend a guarantee of liberty to individuals and then punish them for relying upon that guarantee. On the merits, the plaintiffs have a strong case.
MAY 20: The National Center for Lesbian Rights is founded (1977)
On May 20, 1977, the National Center for Lesbian Rights (then titled the Lesbian Rights Project) was founded by Donna Hitchens! As a lesbian who had just graduated from law school and was soon expecting her first child, Donna was keenly aware that the legal system was not designed to be an ally of the LGBT community and she sought to remedy that.

Throughout the years, the NCLR has been at the very center of some of the most landmark legal victories for LGBT Americans. One of their first victories was in 1980 when they represented and won a law suit on behalf of Denise Kreps, a woman who had been denied a job as a County Sheriff due to her sexual orientation. The NCLR has also represented Annie Affleck and Rebecca Smith as they became one of the first same-sex couple to achieve a joint-adoption in the U.S., Michael Kantaras, a transgender father who won a landmark custody case, and two Cherokee women who were forced to defend the legality of their marriage to the Cherokee Supreme Court. You can read more about the NCLR’s origins and their full timeline here! On May 20, 2017, an anniversary party for the Center was hosted at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco.

As #NCLR Legal Director @shannonminter5 so aptly points out, these anti-#trans sports bills address a threat that simply does not exist. They are just a red herring for attacks on the #LGBTQ community. #ProtectTransKids Go to @nclrights to learn more Trans kids deserve to play sports Just like any other kid And denying them that access is unacceptable https://www.instagram.com/p/CMDA4YVhPda/?igshid=1v8hndz9kdbwl
