Communities of Color
People of color who are also LGBTQ face a unique set of challenges based on their experience at the intersection of two marginalized communities in our society.

The Human Rights Campaign is committed to fighting racism and racial oppression, challenging hateful policies and rhetoric and representing and advocating for the full diversity of the LGBTQ community through a range of strategies, tactics and programs.
