Immigration and Asylum
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and people living with HIV from around the world seek to enter this country for all the same reasons that other people do. They may be looking for economic opportunity, to be with loved ones, to pursue an education or to obtain medical care. But they sometimes come up against unfair immigration policies. Lambda Legal challenges these policies and pursues Impact litigation Precedent-setting cases designed to affect large numbers of people and bring about meaningful social change on behalf of LGBT and HIV positive people seeking asylum because of persecution in their country of origin.
