ACLU LGBTQ & HIV Project

Legal Aid & Advocacy · Minnesota · Free

American Civil Liberties Union LGBTQ+ project — civil rights litigation, advocacy, and resources. Relevant for couples whose marriage rights may be contested or who need parentage protections across states. Discrimination claims have short windows — federal EEOC is 180–300 days from the incident depending on state. Trans people changing IDs typically need to update SSA, state DMV, passport, and birth certificate separately — order matters. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
