Changing Hearts and Minds
With our website, Legal InfoLine, publications and workshops, we work to ensure that individuals know their legal rights, and how to assert them.
Using both traditional and new media we tell the stories of LGBT people and how the law affects them for good or for ill.
All of these efforts support GLAD's core litigation by creating the environment in which we can win – and sustain our wins.

Research shows that the more people know their LGBT family, friends, and neighbors, the more likely they are to support our rights and help us work toward full equality. Learn More
