Featured Speakers

Ben Klein (he/him)

Senior Director of Litigation and HIV Law

As an GLAD attorney since 1994, Ben has been a pivotal figure in litigating groundbreaking cases across GLAD’s mission areas. Notably, his work in HIV litigation challenged discrimination, leading to the 1998 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Bragdon v. Abbott, establishing nationwide protection against discrimination for people with HIV under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

In the realm of sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination, Ben played a key role in landmark cases such as Kerrigan & Mock v. Department of Public Health (2008) and O’Donnabhain v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue (2010). His contributions extend to expanding access to PrEP, securing the rights of transgender students, facilitating the placement of transgender women in women’s prisons, and challenging discrimination in religiously-affiliated institutions.

Richard Burns (he/him)

Interim Executive Director

Richard was president of GLAD’s founding board from 1978-1986 and has maintained his commitment to the organization for 45 years. Richard will provide updates on the critical work we’re doing to defend and promote LGBTQ+ justice and equity, and how you can help make a difference!

Progress is not a given and we must remain vigilant, especially as our opponents are more motivated than ever to rollback our decades of hard fought victories. We hope that you will join us to learn more about GLAD’s impact and how you can continue supporting our efforts.
