This fellowship honors the memory of Tyron Garner, one of the men Lambda Legal represented in our groundbreaking Supreme Court victory, Lawrence and Garner v. Texas (which struck down all remaining state sodomy laws in the country) and helps expand Lambda Legal’s work in African-American LGBT communities. Tyron Garner died in 2006, after his case vindicated the constitutional right to express sexual intimacy in adult relationships.

The fellowship constitutes one of Lambda Legal’s efforts to increase the diversity of attorneys within the LGBT movement. Through the Garner Fellowship, we seek to encourage and mentor law students dedicated to LGBT issues within African-American communities to become familiar with civil rights work on behalf of LGBT individuals and people living with HIV. The Garner Fellowship will contribute to Lambda Legal’s expansion of our current work to serve more communities of color and address the intersection of LGBT discrimination and racism, sexism, and poverty that affects African-American LGBT communities.

We are looking for candidates who have first-hand understanding of the issues that affect communities of color and have experience working with LGBT and HIV issues and with African American communities.

The Garner Fellow will work with our attorneys to:

identify and connect with key African-American leaders, organizations, faith-based leaders and academics to further inform and guide our efforts to serve African-American LGBT communities;
identify important LGBT and HIV legal issues that affect African-American communities by considering inequities and barriers related to LGBT and HIV issues that disproportionately affect African-American LGBT communities;
identify poverty-, class- and race-related legal issues that particularly affect African-American communities that Lambda Legal should address;
develop legal resources focused on the specific challenges of people living with HIV in LGBT African American communities;
develop legal resources focused on the specific challenges LGBTQ youth of color face in the foster care, shelter, juvenile justice and school systems.
Compensation
The summer 2012 fellowship will be funded at $500/week for up to 14 weeks. Payment for round-trip travel from the fellow’s school or home to the office in which the fellow will be working also will be provided.

Application
The position is open until filled. Send résumé, writing sample, and letter of interest indicating the Lambda Legal office(s) in which the applicant would be interested in working; a description of experience working in African-American communities; a description of interest in addressing LGBT and HIV issues in African-American communities; and particular areas or legal issues of interest to:
