"For over 30 years, LID has been the political voice of Brooklyn’s LGBT community. We have been building relationships with elected officials, endorsing and supporting LGBT and pro-eqaulity candidates for public office, speaking out against bigotry and violence, fighting for marriage equality, advocating for the rights and services of people living with HIV and AIDS, lobbying elected officials for civil rights, registering voters, educating voters about LGBT issues and about the Brooklyn candidates who either oppose or support our rights, and building a coalition of LGBT, pro-equality and progressive political allies."
