Annual Update 2009

The ACLU is dedicated to bringing about an America where lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and people with HIV/AIDS can live openly without discrimination; where there’s respect for our identities, relationships and families; and where there’s fair treatment in employment, schools, housing, public places, health care and government programs.
