It is long past time for our New York state legislators to take action on the the issues that impact LGBTQ New Yorkers and our families. New York should be a place that protects the liberty and equality of all individuals, particularly those whose existence and expression has been oppressed.
On this episode, we speak with some experts about several important legislative priorities for LeGaL.
First, LeGaL Executive Director, Eric Lesh speaks with our Board Member Kristen Browde about the urgent need to pass GENDA to protect the civil rights of transgender people in New York.
Next, we talk with Sam Brinton, Head of Advocacy and Government Affairs at The Trevor Project, about the effort to ban conversion therapy.
Finally, our executive director discusses the need to ban so-called “gay and trans panic defenses” in New York.
Listen to the podcast.
Then stand with us to take action.
