The Committee on Civil Rights is active with respect to the rights of LGBT people.  The Committee authored a letter to President Michael E. Getnick in support of the Special Committee on LGBT People and the Law's Report and Recommendations on Marriage Rights for Same-Sex Couples.  See below for the Committee's letter and related materials.

The Committee on Civil Rights also cosponsored a panel with the Special Committee on LGBT People and the Law at the NYSBA's 2010 Annual Event titled Core Rights Implicated by Second-Tier Status of Same-Sex Couples—The Real Effects of a Two-Tier System.  See below for the program brochure.
