About

Established in 1988, the NSW Gay & Lesbian Rights Lobby (GLRL) is the peak organisation for lesbian and gay rights in NSW. We provide referral and educative resources on gay and lesbian rights to the media, policy makers and the community.

Our mission is to achieve legal equality and social justice for lesbians, gay men and their families.

We lobby politicians, government departments, policy makers and the media to redress discrimination against lesbians and gay men.

We represent the gay and lesbian community at the local, state and national level through statewide consultations. Our major consultations have highlighted social injustice and legal inequality faced by lesbians and gay men, in areas such as relationship recognition, parenting and adoption rights, workplace discrimination, the age of consent and homophobic violence.

We educate the gay and lesbian community on how to activate their rights. We provide information to the community, media and individuals on gay and lesbian rights and areas of discrimination. We refer clients to legal and welfare services and direct them to ways to enforce their rights.

We empower the community to take action in the push for equality. The GLRL runs volunteer working groups which organise campaigns and events that highlight equality issues.
