    Definition

    "...the creation of a society in which lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and people with HIV/AIDS enjoy the basic rights of equality, privacy and personal autonomy, and freedom of expression and association. This means an America where people can live openly without discrimination; where there’s respect for our identities, relationships and families; and where there’s fair treatment in employment, schools, housing, public places, health care and government programs."
    -Mission Statement of the ACLU LGBT & AIDS Project (2009)

    Cite Your Sources

This page will give you pointers as well as help in creating those "Works Cited" or "References" pages. Remember you can always contact us, if it gets confusing (and it usually does!)
