NCLR is unique in their feminist perspective and their primary focus on addressing the needs of those most marginalized. NCLR fights for ALL LGBTQ individuals and their families and addresses the intersectional needs of our community — race, gender, ability, and economics. Through impact litigation, public policy efforts and public education, NCLR is a leader in advancing LGBTQ rights. Essential to their unique approach is forging alliances with those who appear to think differently but greatly impact the health and well-being of LGBTQ people. This includes faith-based service providers, conservative state legislatures and educational institutions. These alliances enable real change in municipalities, institutions, and states where this would otherwise seem impossible and where many LGBTQ people love to call home. This work creates lasting and systemic improvements for the entire LGBTQ community, and lays the groundwork for a society free of homophobia, transphobia and hate.
