On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we grieve and celebrate the lives of transgender, nonbinary, Two-Spirit, and gender-nonconforming people taken by anti-trans violence.

The Department of Justice is demanding access to families' private medical information. Yesterday, we filed a motion to stop it. Right now, the target is transgender health care - once DOJ subpoena power is used to punish one community’s medical decisions, every community is at risk.

The Supreme Court’s decision not to revisit marriage equality is a relief for millions of people. Let’s be clear: our work isn’t over. LGBTQ+ rights – especially for transgender people – remain under threat. We’ll continue to fight every day for equality and freedom for all.

SCOTUS is considering whether to hear a challenge to Obergefell, the landmark ruling that secured marriage equality nationwide. GLAD Law’s Mary Bonauto explains why former county clerk Kim Davis’s challenge is weak – and why the freedom to marry continues to strengthen families and communities.

Every family deserves access to legal parentage — because, as Polly Crozier, GLAD Law’s Director of Family Advocacy, notes, it “is vital to ensuring that children have the security and stability they need.” Illinois is moving forward to protect and respect all families.
