Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund takes the position that religious exemptions should not be used as a license to discriminate against LGBTQ+ individuals, people living with HIV, or other marginalized groups. Regarding students' rights, Lambda Legal advocates for safe, inclusive school environments and fights against attempts to use religious objections to opt out of curriculum that includes LGBTQ+ representation.
