Liberty Hill is advancing the movement for LGBT and marriage equality.

After California's Prop 8 passed in 2008, the lesson was clear: Not enough work had been done to build support for marriage equality in communities of color. Liberty Hill’s historic leadership allowed us to reach out to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender leaders within communities of color on what was a highly sensitive issue.

Liberty Hill saw an opportunity for a win-win – to build power and strength where Los Angeles community leaders most saw the need (on issues like family and community acceptance, school bullying and immigrant rights) and to advance the marriage equality movement in California. With Liberty Hill investment, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender leaders are increasingly visible in their own ethnic communities and in the more mainstream LGBT movement. They are building power for wins on major issues from family acceptance to marriage equality.
