Legal Aid Society

Legal Aid & Advocacy · Louisiana · Free

National hub of legal aid societies — find your local legal aid office. A starting point for asylum seekers fleeing anti-LGBTQ+ persecution who need pro-bono representation. Discrimination claims have short windows — federal EEOC is 180–300 days from the incident depending on state. Second-parent adoption is still recommended even after marriage equality, especially for travel across hostile states. Free, confidential, and open to anyone in the LGBTQ+ community.
