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.”
The LGBT Bar was formally introduced at the Lesbian & Gay March on Washington in 1987. In 1992, the Association became an official affiliate of the American Bar Association (ABA) and began working with the ABA’s Section on Individual Rights and Responsibilities and the ABA’s Committee on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity.
