Lambda Legal in South Florida

Lambda Legal in South Florida Stay locally connected to Lambda Legal's events and activities in South Florida. Our legal and educational work touches nearly every aspect of our lives.

The Lambda Legal Southern Regional Office located in Atlanta, Georgia serves Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. At Lambda Legal, we imagine a different world — a world of full equality for le****ns, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people and people with HIV — and we work to create that world every day. We pursue

impact litigation, education and advocacy to make the case for equality in state and federal court, the Supreme Court and in the court of public opinion. The work we do has impact on the way we live — we change laws, policies and ideas. From our national headquarters in New York and four regional offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas and Los Angeles, our legal and public education experts select the cases and issues that will have the greatest impact in protecting and advancing the rights of LGBT people and those with HIV. We win legal victories for clients who seek equality on the job, protection for their parenting or relationship rights, equal access to health care or protection against discrimination because of HIV status, sexual orientation or gender identity. We also represent clients in cases involving immigration, military service, the rights of students in school and the rights of LGBTQ youth in out-of-home care. We support our work in the courts with high-impact public education campaigns to change the hearts and minds of people across the country. We also maintain a national network of volunteer Cooperating Attorneys, which widens the scope of our legal work and allows attorneys, legal workers and law students to become involved in our program by working with our legal staff. Lambda Legal's work ultimately benefits all people, for it helps to fashion a society that is truly diverse and tolerant. Our mission to combat discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and HIV status in this country has become an intrinsic part of the struggle for civil rights for gay men, bisexuals, transgender people and people with HIV — and we work to create that world every day.

In the coming weeks, the Supreme Court will rule on West Virginia v. B.P.J.: a case that will determine whether trans youth have the right to play on school sports teams that reflect who they are.

When that happens, the conversations in our communities matter. Join Lambda Legal, CenterLink: The Community of LGBT Centers, and PFLAG National for the context, language, and tools to navigate them with confidence.

Sports shape who we become long after the game ends — teaching confidence, leadership, teamwork, and resilience. 💪💜

Now, we want to hear your story.

Lambda Legal is collecting stories about the power of sports and why every kid, including transgender kids, deserves the opportunity to play.
Together, these stories will celebrate the life lessons sports teach and how they benefit us all — strengthening our families, neighborhoods, and communities.

This effort comes at a pivotal moment, ahead of a major Supreme Court decision expected this summer.

Do you have a story about how sports shaped you? Share a video, photo, or written story with us by May 26.

From trailblazing activists to actors, scholars, and everyday heroes, we celebrate the vibrant intersection of queerness and Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) identity. 🏳️‍🌈

From Urvashi Vaid –– legendary LGBTQ+ and HIV rights activist –– to Kim Coco Iwamoto –– the first openly transgender legislator in the State of Hawai’i –– there is a rich history to explore.

Their contributions to the LGBTQ+ rights movement have paved the way for progress, reminding us that when we fight for equality for one, we advance it for all. ✨
