LIVE Magazine- Issue #268, March 9, 2018

Don’t miss the National Center for Lesbian
Rights’ annual Palm Springs Garden Party
on March 31st during Dinah weekend.
Please join NCLR Executive Director Kate
Kendell along with our event co-chairs, Gary
D. Soto and DeeAnn McCoy, for a fabulous
party at the stunning Pond Estate in Palm
Springs, California!
For more than four decades, NCLR has
been at the forefront of the movement for
LGBTQ equality. It was the first organization
to launch projects advancing parent, youth,
immigrant, and transgender rights, and—for
the first time in 2017—NCLR sued a sitting
president to stop Trump’s transgender
military ban. And the fight continues.
We are thrilled to be returning to the
Desert again this spring and hope to
have the biggest crowd yet. NCLR will be
honoring two of our plaintiffs in Stockman
v. Trump, one of our lawsuits to stop
Trump’s transgender military ban. Kate
will give an update from the frontlines of
the resistance and describe NCLR’s ongoing
fight to defend the LGBTQ community
and protect the historic legal gains we
have achieved together in recent years.
From fighting for laws banning conversion
therapy for LGBTQ minors to winning lifesaving
asylum for LGBTQ people fleeing
violence and persecution across the
globe, Kate will share some of our most
compelling, life-changing stories—we know
you’ll want to hear it and we can’t wait to
be back with you!
NCLR remains fully engaged in a fight for
this nation’s most highly-prized ideals:
justice, equality, inclusiveness and fairness.
It is clear that the Trump Administration is
relentless to test our resolve by attempting
to rollback hard-fought protections for the
most vulnerable in the LGBTQ community.
The evening will give us a chance to update
you on how NCLR is responding to these
threats and how we are preparing for
the challenges ahead of us. Our entire
