ACLU LGBTQ & HIV Project

Legal Aid & Advocacy · California · Free

American Civil Liberties Union LGBTQ+ project — civil rights litigation, advocacy, and resources. Useful for trans people navigating ID document updates across multiple states and federal agencies. Initial consultations through Lambda Legal, ACLU, and NCLR are typically free and confidential. Second-parent adoption is still recommended even after marriage equality, especially for travel across hostile states. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
