Legislative Advocacy

GLAD may be best known for its precedent-setting litigation in the courts, but as New England's foremost legal organization working on matters of lgbt civil rights and the rights of people with HIV, GLAD's unique legal expertise is indispensable to legislative efforts and other matters of public policy as well.

New Hampshire Rejects Anti-Marriage Equality Amendment

The New Hampshire House voted overwhelmingly to defeat a proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. GLAD worked closely with New Hampshire Freedom to Marry to mobilize and educate citizens and legislators about the potential harms of such an amendment. Lawmakers voted 207-125 against the amendment, which would have defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
