About the Event

Thank you to everyone who participated in GLAD’s Justice for All Connecticut on April 25, 2021!

Missed the event? Want to re-watch the highlights? We’ve got you covered.

Watch Senior Attorney Polly Crozier’s update on GLAD’s critical LGBTQ+ work in Connecticut and throughout the nation – and how supporters like you can make a difference.

As part of the We Care Coalition, GLAD is working to pass Connecticut Parentage Act. The bill would protect children of LGBTQ parents and ensure every child born in Connecticut has equal access to the security of legal parentage.

This year, we were thrilled to honor Connecticut State Representative Jeff Currey for his profound dedication to the rights and equality of the LGBTQ community. Watch his moving remarks about the power of authenticity in his life and his work, and his call for each of us to take an active role in fighting for what’s right.

Together, we paid tribute to friend and trailblazer Jerimarie Liesegang, for her lifetime of work advocating for the transgender community in Connecticut and beyond. Her work impacted all of us, and we miss her dearly.

GLAD’s work is only possible because of your support. Thank you. If you made a pledge during the event – or want to make a gift now to keep the fight for justice moving forward – just click here to make your donation.
