Reflecting on the Importance of June 26

Today, we reflect on the many victories of the LGBT and legal communities. June 26th is a historic day for many: Lawrence v. Texas (2003) outlawed anti-sodomy laws throughout the US, United States v. Windsor (2013) granted more than 1,100 federal rights to lawfully married same-sex couples by naming Section III of the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional, and Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) made marriage equality the law of the land. 

 

As we celebrate today, we reflect on the legal legacies of these cases and how lawyers change lives. A fair and independent legal system is the bedrock of our democracy, standing as the last line of defense against any and all infringements to our constitutional rights. Our members, partners, and supporters have changed the course of history. They've shaped legal strategies, fought for our rights at every level of government, and represented us before the courts. Today, we celebrate our national holiday: June 26th, a day that forever changed the course of LGBT rights in America. 

The National LGBT Bar Association is a national association of lawyers, judges and other legal professionals, law students, activists, and affiliated LGBT legal organizations. The association promotes justice in and through the legal profession for the LGBT community in all its diversity.
