About The National Gay & Lesbian Task Force
Founded in 1973, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Foundation (The Task Force) was the first national lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights and advocacy organization and remains the movement’s leading voice for freedom, justice and equality.
The Task Force works to build the grassroots political strength of the LGBT community by training state and local activists and leaders, working to strengthen the infrastructure of state and local allies, and organizing broad-based campaigns to build public support for complete equality for LGBT people. The Task Force’s Policy Institute, the community’s premiere think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality.
As part of a broader social justice movement, The Task Force works to create a world that respects and makes visible the diversity of human expression and identify where all people may fully participate in society. Headquartered in Washington, DC, The Task Force also has offices in NYC, Miami, LAs, and Cambridge.
