  • What does the LGBT Bar do?

    The LGBT Bar provides much needed support to its members in a variety of ways. For example, it assists prospective LGBTQ+ judicial candidates to become judges, ensures law schools employ best practices to make LGBTQ+ students feel safe on campus, and hosts the annual Lavender Law Conference, the largest LGBTQ+ legal conference in the country.

  • Do LGBTQ+ workplace protection laws also protect me from being harassed on the job?

    Yes. Just as the LAD prohibits an employer from discriminating against protected groups in the workplace, it also prohibits employers from creating hostile work environments. If you believe your employer, supervisor or coworker is harassing you because of your LGBTQ+ status, and it is severe or pervasive, they are likely violating the LAD and you should report the conduct immediately.

  • How can employers create policies and procedures to protect LGBTQ+ employees?

    The first suggestion for how to update policies and procedures to protect LGBTQ+ employees is review existing harassment, discrimination, and equal employment opportunity documents. Make updates if necessary to ensure they encompass protections for LGBTQ+ individuals when considering sex as the motivating characteristic.

  • What NJ state laws protect me from LGBTQ+ discrimination in the workplace?

  • What federal laws protect me from LGBTQ+ discrimination in the workplace?

    Thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia, employers are prohibited from terminating employees because they are gay or transgender. The Court held that the language “on the basis of sex” in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 banned discrimination of gay and transgender persons.  Prior to this ruling, the “basis of sex” language was interpreted to focus solely on gender, meaning male or female.

  • What is the National LGBT Bar Association?

    The National LGBT Bar Association (“LGBT Bar”) is a group of lawyers, judges, activists and affiliated gay, lesbian bisexual and transgender organizations that was created to promote “justice in and through the legal profession for the LGBTQ+ community in all its diversity.”

  • Does New Jersey Have Protections Against LGBTQ+ Discrimination?
