Organizing for Equality: Advancing Rights for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Pennsylvanians in 2014

Support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender equality in Pennsylvania has never been higher. Nearly 70% of Pennsylvanians believe that no one should be fired, evicted, or denied services because they are a member of the LGBT community -- and over 50% support marriage equality. We know 2014 can be a big year for advancing LGBT equality in the Commonwealth, but only if we organize in every part of the state like never before. Learn how we got to this level of unprecedented support, what’s happening in the state legislature and the courts on nondiscrimination and marriage equality — and what you can do to increase support and advance LGBT rights in our state this year.
