ACLU of Pennsylvania

Legal Aid & Advocacy · Pennsylvania · Free

State affiliate defending LGBTQ+ civil rights. Worth contacting after workplace, housing, or healthcare discrimination — most cases have a tight statute of limitations. Local LGBTQ+ bar associations maintain referral lists of affirming attorneys; many offer reduced-fee consults. 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.
