MassEquality is working to achieve full equality for the LGBT community. Our premise is simple: we believe that every LGBT person deserves to be treated equally, to be safe, and to be free from discrimination based on their sexual orientation or gender identity and expression.
Priorities:
Transgender Equality: Transgender people in our communities should be able to work and live without fear of discrimination or harm.
Equality for LGBT Youth: Every young person, gay or straight, deserves to feel safe in their own school and have access to the resources they need to flourish and grow.
LGBT seniors deserve equal access to the benefits, protections, services and institutions available to any other senior.
With the rate of HIV infections rising dramatically, particularly among young gay men and people of color, it's clear the fight against AIDS is far from over.
Everyone deserves to be safe in their home, but the special difficulties faced by LGBT people are often not properly understood or addressed by traditional service organizations.
