Many LGBTQ+ people are wary of the legal world, sometimes because of historical discrimination, sometimes because of its complexity. Our legal space offers LGBTQ+ people a free, safe place to access legal information adapted to their realities. Access to law and justice is essential to achieving an egalitarian society.
