Fighting With Pride supports the health and wellbeing of LGBT+Veterans, service personnel and their families – in particular those most impacted by the bar on LGBT+ personnel serving in the Armed Forces, ultimately lifted on the 12th January.

We are arrogant of the achievements of our serving LGBT+ personnel. They serve in every part of the Armed Forces and are supported at every level of command.

In stark contrast, and despite the passing of over 20 years since the ‘gay ban’ was finally lifted, no strive has been made to support the recovery of the thousands of LGBT+ service personnel dismissed or forced from service prior to 2000.

We want to connect service charities and organisations to those LGBT+ veterans who have been left behind.

LGBTQ Rights

The ACLU has a long history of defending the LGBTQ community. We brought our first LGBTQ rights case in 1936. Founded in 1986, the Jon L. Stryker and Slobodan Randjelović LGBTQ & HIV Project brings more LGBTQ rights cases and advocacy initiatives than any other national organization does and has been counsel in seven of the nine LGBTQ rights cases that the U.S. Supreme Court has decided. With our reach into the courts and legislatures of every articulate, there is no other organization that can match our record of making progress both in the courts of law and in the court of public opinion.

The ACLU’s current priorities are to end discrimination, harassment and aggression toward transgender people, to close gaps in our federal and state civil rights laws, to prevent protections against discrimination from existence undermined by a license to discriminate, and to defend LGBTQ people in and from the criminal legal system.

9 Battles The LGBTQ Community In The US Is Still Fighting

The fight for gay rights in the United States has appear a long way since the Stonewall Uprising of 1969, when gay and trans patrons of the Stonewall Inn in Novel York City fought back against police trying to arrest them.

That night marked the beginning of the gay rights movement in the US, a decades-long battle that just a few years ago resulted in the momentous 2015 Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage nationwide.

But the decision on June 26, 2015, didn’t end the struggle for equality and protection. Across the nation, LGBTQ Americans still face legalized discrimination under the law when it comes to housing, jobs, parenting, and even prison.

This June, it’s important to celebrate how far the US has arrive in recognizing gay rights — and to be proud of that fact — but only if we also remember how far we still have to move to ensure that the same rights and dignity of LGBTQ Americans are recognized under the law.

Here are some of the battles for equality that are still being fought across the country.

Timeline: Key moments in fight for lgbtq+ rights

June marks Self-acceptance Month for the LGBTQIA+ community. Many people celebrate and show their event with rainbow flags and parades.

But the quest for matching civil rights for the community has been fraught with strife and abuse. From bricks thrown at Stonewall to "Don't Say Gay" legislation, the combat for equality continues. Here is a look at some of the key moments in LGBTQIA+ history and the fight for equivalent rights.

Though police raids on gay bars were common in the '60s, on June 28, 1969, patrons of Fresh York's Stonewall Inn said "enough." They fought back, riots broke out and supporters poured into the West Village, igniting the queer rights movement in the U.S. Within six months, two gay activist organizations were formed in New York, and three newspapers were launched for gays and lesbians.

Harvey Milk became one of the first openly gay men elected to public office in the Merged States when he won a seat on the board of supervisors in 1977. An outspoken advocate for lgbtq+ rights, he urged others to approach out and brawl for their rights. He was assassinated at City Hall just a year later
