The Coalition for Lesbian and Gay Rights (New York) was founded in 1977 to demand and defend lesbian and gay rights, particularly with regard to fighting for the passage by the New York City Council of legislation that would ban all forms of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. After this legislation became law in New York City in 1986, the Coalition worked to organize support for similar legislation at the state level; it also lobbied for increases in AIDS research and services.
