About the National Center for Lesbian Rights - Working for You Since 1977

The National Center for Lesbian Rights(NCLR) is a lesbian-led feminist national legal resource center with a primary commitment to advancing the rights and safety of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people and their families through a program of litigation, public policy advocacy, and public education.

NCLR litigates precedent-setting cases at the trial and appellate court levels, advocates for equitable public policies affecting the LGBT community, provides free legal information to clients and their legal advocates, and conducts community education on LGBT legal issues. Each year, we serve more than 5,000 lesbians, gay men, and bisexual, and transgender individuals in all fifty states.

National Impact

NCLR's legal and policy victories set important legal precedents that improve the lives of all LGBT people. Our free legal advice empowers individuals to assert their own legal rights. Our community and public education broadens public support for LGBT civil rights.

NCLR is supported by tax-deductible contributions from generous members and donors around the country. To find out more about making a contribution to NCLR, click here.
