		Lambda, which authored the letter, and the other groups asked the Department of Justice to recognize that lesbian and gay survivors of this tragedy need the same security and support as everyone else who is grieving.
		Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund is the nation's oldest and largest legal organization working to advance the civil rights of lesbians and gay men.
		For example, excluding anyone but a legal spouse from recovery for loss of companionship or loss of consortium would be to fail to account for actual losses suffered by many survivors and to impose a barrier that has the effect of discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation.

		The Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund was initially housed in a spare room in the New York apartment of a supporter.
		Thus, the early work of Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund lawyers was important, but somewhat peripheral since they were reacting to the legal initiatives of others rather than initiating new suits of their own.
		In its early years Lambda Legal successfully assisted clients fighting discrimination in cases of wrongful dismissal from employment, parental visitation rights, custody of foster children, and the recognition of gay and lesbian student organizations, among other issues.

		In particular, the suit claims that the Home, which receives state funds for the care of foster youth, dismissed a youth counselor because she condoned and supported homosexual orientation, to which it was religiously opposed, and refused to hire a Jewish psychotherapist because of his religious affiliation.
		The state, as their legal guardian, is not permitted to choose religious experience on their behalf.
		Bellmore and Dr. Yorker prevail in their legal argument that the exemption does not apply to religious organizations engaged in such contracts, this will mean at the very least that Congress will have to specifically authorize the exemption in such arrangements for it to continue in force.
